I agree, the attachment needs to be more robust. The thickness of the steel on the end of the bar is not enough. Also, I think a flat rectangular solid bar would do more than a hollow round one. Weight is really not much of an issue for what this part does. If you make slots for the attachment points, you can get a preload adjustment by jacking the car and then tightening the mounting bolts. Here is a picture of my favorite strut tower brace design (from StrongStrut.com). Also, read the "Strut Brace Facts" at
