    I am looking for the brackets that allow the stock strut tower brace to attatch to the top of the struts, instead of having to drill holes in the towers. I would like the front's especially, but will take both front and rear if available. Also, if you have aftermarket strut tower braces for a good price, let me know as well. They would nee to be shipped to Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, R7B0R1

    He needs brackets if he is using the stock GMPP strut bars.

    Why don't you just push a piece of cardboard onto the bolt heads making a depression, then mark it out with a marker and shape the cardboard then to fit around the strut tower opening. Then you could go find a piece of steel or aluminum and cut it down to the shape, drill the holes and mount it onto the strut bolts. Then place the strut brace across the two brackets, mark them out for the holes on the brace, drill and tap them for the brace mounting bolts and whoola! There you go, DIY brackets...

    $85 sounds like a deal to me, and is why I bought them without a second thought! Too much work for something so simple : )

    anyways... Good luck!

    Yup I didn't hesitate to spend $85 for those brackets. It was a no brainer for me...didn't have to spend the time or money on materials to make my own and didn't have to drill into the cars body. If money is a issue either pull out the drill or make your own if you can't find a set here.

    I have an entire car and would be willing to sell these, I'm just not quite sure exactly what you're looking for.

    What I am looking for, is, in the following pics, the aluminum brackets that the stock strut brace is bolted to that is then bolted around the top of the strut.

    I used the same DR Custom Parts STB's with the GMPP Strut Tower Braces. They fit perfectly and were easy to install (look good under hood). I also live in Canada and DR (I think it was Don Rome) sent them right away and even emailed me to make sure I got them.
