Hmmmm…. if the shock mount is moved, thus transferring the torsional twisting to the frame rail & k-frame, what does tying the fender to the shock tower actually accomplish? You may have a point. This would also make the core support make a little more sense (tying the two frame rails with a little more strength).

Just trying to tie in the load from the front coil over into the rollcage and car structure.

If you are going to run a brace or bar near the upper coil over mount, why not tie into it? Or tie into the rear k-frame bolt frame area that takes coil over tower load to the frame (dotted line)



Just some of the tubing for a roll cage. Notice the car structure stops at the front K-member bolt. In front of that is just crash protection.
