Export brace vs. TCP brace

Here is a picture of my TCP shock tower brace, it cost a fortune, looks good and allows better access to the engine. However, I believe that it does not perform as well as an export brace when it comes to handling. I am not an engineer, but it seems that the export brace (sorry no picture, but I know most of you have them) is much more structurally sound when it comes to improved handling. The front end just does not seem as solid as it did with the export brace. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

I have the old style export brace and a Global West Monte-carlo bar because it clears the A/C compressor. I think the TCP stuff is way too expensive now, however, the look way cool.

I don't know how much the export brace helps, but the subframe connectors sure made a difference.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I have crappy Mustang Plus bolt-on sub-frame connectors. They really made a difference, but the fit is terrible. The TCP ones look much better and lighter. I am disappointed with how loose my front end feels with the TCP shock tower brace.

I have the weld on TCP subs with the X brace. They fit nicely. I think the X brace makes a big difference, I could tell the car was much stiffer just backing out the driveway into the street.
