got it today so I will need a day or two to see if it really helps(got a few curvy roads here,but far away).Its boxed very nicely and arrived with no damage.The powdercoating is topnotch,and fit perfectly onto the studs.I wish there were torque specs for the bolts included.

I have a Steeda and was wondering what the torque was also. I guess I'll ask the service manager when I pick up my car.

Please post your thoughts on this after a few days of driving. I've been eying one of those but wonder if it will be worth it. I know on the older platform they were almost a requirement, so I'm interested to see the gains associated on the new platform.

It looks like BMR has a lot of very nice stuff for the mustang. Keep us posted on your driving impressions.

$189.00 and considering how well made and heavy-duty it is ,its well worth it.
casselberry is just outside orlando.

I got the black myself because of the color of the car. Installed yesterday and have yet to go out on the road with it so can not give a good review...........YET.

That thing does look beefy. BMR's pictures don't really show that. I am thinking about that piece myself.

Any idea of the weight?
