Ford wouldn't install them from the Factory if they didn't make a difference.

It add chassis rigidity
Do you need it ?
Depend on how you use the car

The strut tower brace does work however, it works better if paired with the cowl brace.

BMR makes one but you will need their shock mounts for it to fit. You have to drill holes in the body for it to mount up.

A shock tower brace going in the truck, connecting the rear shocks?
I can not remember reading a post in 7 years with anyone doing that.

What is the problem you want to solve?

I have a '21 also, not a waste if you want to improve turn in and steering response. make sure you put all 3 pieces in though. I did bracing undneath too, steeda G-track brace. Now the tires and susp can work like their supposed too. It's amazing what a little bit of of money on bracing and wider tires will do to this car, feels like a go cart now.

Does the cowl brace alone do anything? It’s a pretty rigid piece of metal bolted to the towers and the cowl. I had to remove the tower brace when the supercharger was installed. I haven’t tried to modify it and/or use spacers to get it to fit again.

I think the cowl brace does more than the strut brace tbh , its stiffens the chassis on 2 planes . For a lot of people i think the strut brace is more placebo than anything . You really need to be squealing the tyres to need that strut brace imo . Each to their own of course

Let me ask you this. What does a shock tower brace do? You might be able to answer your own question.

Tower brace is similar to a chicks magnet.

All depends on goals.

Do you want "feel's stiffer" or "is faster"?

Somehow my base GT has survived 18k miles and a "few" track days without bracing?

I'd be curious ito know if adding xx lb. in stiffening really offsets dragging xx lb. in more added mass around a track?

It did for me simply due to driver confidence. The car is much more predictable.
