Did anyone do a rear brace other than the "X" brace?

If so, what kind etc. etc.?

Thanks in advance !

Are you using the front one on a '13 - '14 GT500? If so, any fitment problems?

I got that one and it won't fit because the holes are too small in diameter. In order to fit mine the holes would have to be 3x as big and then I'm not sure it would work. Can you send me a pic of yours? The pic here shows it on and the nut with the rubber needs to sit down inside and it's way, way too big.:shrug:

I put a Shelby rear brace in my son's '08 CS GT. It looked like your pic. If I remember correctly you are supposed to put the brace on top of the factory rubber shock washer.
The larger diameter hole will not hurt anything. I hope I remember correctly and this helps with your brace.

So how exactly do you install the brace on a 2013 shelby? Any pics? How do you even remove the shock nut?

Besides our x-brace, there is a 'regular' one also. (Welding is required on the 2-pt brace)

Just looking at them, I don't think they will fit a 2013 with electronic dampening.

I hope it will I planned on installing the no compromise brace down the road, looks great.
