It works, but you have to drill your own holes. Get the one with a full circle around the strut brace, the crescent shaped ones only bolt up to one stud because of where the Dodge studs are placed.

if you don't wanna drill into anything you could just get this one.

it'll fit perfectly and it clears the STs. I'm sure the GTs won't be that much difference either.

well i think that it does. I haven't tried cornering super hard with it on but i have felt a difference from before. I think it performs a little better than the stock GT strut bar that connects to the firewall.

It makes a difference. It stiffens the front quite a bit if you get a decent one and add suspension.
