Man Loren that engine brace idea is brilliant. I think that would really help. As someone who has had a UR Strut bar for some time now, I can vouch for a better feel, but to be able to reduce the engine shudder and tighten everything up a bit further would really be great. There are certain times (like taking off from a stop on a steep incline) where the engine feels like it is banging off of the firewall... That brace would remedy that for sure.
