Anyone have any experience with the strut tower brace from Cosmo Racing in Canada?

In the market for one and do not like the OEM BMW one or the Strong Strut item as both have bolts in the wrong place. The Cosmo one is welded assuring a strong brace. Would appreciate the feedback and pics to help in the deciosion making process. Thanks.

The picture isn't all that clear,and there is no spec info.
There are two things that jump out at me.
The tower caps look interesting, but the bar looks like it's a hinge mount. ....not the best for structural rigidity.
The bar looks like a flat piece of extruded aluminum that has been mechanically bent.
The 2 bends are kinked.

JMO, but I would want to see one 1st hand before putting one on my car.

^exactly what I see. No doubt much better than nothing but might be a little more show than go especially with that bar.

Yes.
I have Strong strut on order.
It's more money, but worth it IMO.
