GT3 Front Strut Bar Brace

I read that P/N 996.343.042.00 is for the GT3 and will fit regular 996/Boxsters. Question, though: is this the same as the regular 996 front strut brace? My assumption is that the regular 996 and Boxsters would be the same/similar, so I'm trying to figure out if this part number is truly significantly different/beefier and beneficial. Thanks!

Well, I'm trying to find out if Porsche makes a front strut brace that would be a beneficial upgrade. The aftermarket ones look like they are for show for the most part. These things typically mount to the front strut tower housings (domes I believe you called them) or to the top of the struts by the strut mounting hat bolts (2 or 3 bolts). Are there two different types? My factory one in a Boxster S looks like:

   ____________==_____________
  /       +---------+         \
|/        | battery |          \|
|         +---------+           |

It mounts to the strut "domes" on the side, angles up behind the battery and bolts to the firewall. Nothing bolts to the strut hats.
