Strut tower braces vs. model/packages?

[HoosierDaddy]

Is there someplace that lists which models and packages (2015-2017) come from the factory with a strut tower brace and the same info regarding the cowl C brace?

performance packs and all gt tree fitties.

Cowl brace comes on any mustang with 20" wheels.

The strut tower brace comes on PP mustangs, and GT350's.

The strut tower brace comes with convertibles I believe as well.

Makes sense. I wasn't sure if you mean GT AND EcoBoost Performance Packages and thought maybe the brochures would say. So I looked but nothing in the brochures or the Ford site Build-your-own mentions a brace for the EcoBoost Performance Package. I thought they had them. Now I'm not sure.

One reason I posted the questions was I see Ford Racing kits that include a strut tower brace and a cowl C brace but the description says the C Brace is only needed if the car didn't come from the factory with it. That seems to implies some cars came with a cowl brace but not a strut brace but not all cars came with a cowl brace or nobody buying the kit would need one.

California Special also has the brace.

My 2016 GT Premium w/ 20" wheels only came with the cowl brace, no strut tower.

no strut tower brace on the eco PP, just the c brace

Strut tower braces not included on EB convertibles. Just the V8s, I believe.

i have an EB convertible, no strut tower brace or cowl brace, but have 20" wheels.

Seems like a good addition regardless...

I have a 2016 GT Vert with 20" wheels. I have both the Strut tower and C Brace.

My base non PP had neither, but I added them both. Easy as pie to install...

The order guide lists a strut tower brace on the GT performance Pack but does not list one for the EB PP.
