- Is the upper shock mount supporting the frame horns?
- Are the frame horns supporting the upper shock mounts?
Food for thought

Hmm. that took me a second, but I believe I have an answer.
Both. The brace is there to help stiffin the rear suspension as a whole. The frame horns are not supported, and the shock towers are not strong enough to do what we're asking of them with coilovers. But, if you tie them together, and tie it back up to the torsion housing, it gives everthing the support it needs.
Similar to a roll cage. If it was separated right in the middle of the car, the front and back are strong by them selves, but since you tie them both together. They make the whole car stronger. One part isn't relying on the other for streingth, they more or less, compliment each other.
Does that make sence?
