Coil over conversion for stock k member/steering

They are talking about the stock shock towers.

What I can't figure out is why they didn't tie the snout bar to the shock tower and the hickey the shock bolts to? I can see a car that doesn't have snout bars tying to the frame with the hoop, but why this one? They probably could have tied and reinforced the shock tower to the snout bar and been OK, IMO.

I'm putting a little different LCA / coil over on my Demon and have the same kind of snout bar. I plan to tie it to the upper shock mount.

These are mocked up on my car that does have the forward strut bars already in place off the cage, they are tied into the shock tower. It is a little hard to see because of the forward bars off the cage but the shock hoop bolts into the factory shock mounting hole, the shock mounts as close as possible to the hoop tube so that it takes the majority of the energy from the shock.
