I would go with option 2. solidly mounted to the top of the strut tower.

most of the braces ive come across. bolt up to holes drilled in the tower. (option 1)

i just saw one that bolted to the struts and the guy claims its better. i belive his would put more stress on the struts but, i dont really know for sure.

Neither yields any advantage, all it's doing is preventing flex in the chassis, whether it's mounted to the struts or the bolts already welded to the frame does not matter. What does matter is the design of the bar. A common rectangular bar is more prone to crease under stress rather than a tubular bar that can handle much more stress and is less likely to flex or crease. Hope that helps

please correct me if im wrong but, i think unless the holes have already been drilled. you will have to drill the towers to fit skunk2s strut brace.
