    r you talking as mid an rear mount in the engine bay? if so the difference would depend on your type of engine.
    the rear mounted type would suit engines that have high intake manifolds i.e groug A, an the brace would go around the back

    the mid mounted type would go across the engine

    here are some samples below.

    standard wise they would only benifit the look of your engine bay , but once you start changing your suspension i.e lower shocks, stiffer springs and maybe bigger sway bars then the strut brace will really help with cornering as it stops the two towers from flexing which helps keep the susupension setting right i.e castor, camber and toe.

    as for installing one it really easy an looks the goods
    in life some people need a little guidance, others just need a good kick
