Strut tower brace will a 3 point hurt me on pulling front wheels?

I heard the 3pts will cause a cracked windshield with too much stress. If you ask me my thought on it is a 2pt will help get both off the ground vs just lifting one.

STB will not help or hurt you to any noticeable degree. If anything the added weight might hurt you a bit.

Funny you say the windsheild the last time I used this strut tower brace I put it on my wifes car the night I got it and had one side jacked up to get it on my car and tightened the bolts and cracked the windsheild. The first day we had it. But this car is a convertible and would like it to be a little stiffer without a cage.

Keep it on for the street. For the track, it helps a bit to have it off
