If it is indeed cowl shake, it is the whole front half of the chassis flexing compared to the rear half (due to postless coupe design), so I am not sure a brace will stop it completely (though they look good).

You might find backing off a click or two on the Konis retains the handling while much reducing the shakes.

Recently put my coupe back on the road after rebuilding the front end,new Koni struts and 225 60 14 Michelin Pilot XGT tires. Wow what an improvement.I would like to add a strut brace to try to tame some of the cowl shake and am wondering if anyone can recomend a specific one?TIA Brian
