Anyone have one of these? If so, just wondering about the Pro's and Con's... likes and dislikes, etc.

Thanks!!!

Have the Steeda "Cheapie Bar" (Cough/Cough) which did fit around the engine cover. IMO it did tighten the front end up a little since I do alot of winding road driving. Would think the beefier bars available would show a signficant difference

 

Please don't flame me but what purpose does that bar serve?

 

Reduce body flex in an area esp susceptible to it.

 

I don't have the Steeda 'billet' brace but I do have their brace.

 

I installed a brace as one of my first mods. If your inclined to push your car into the corners when you meet them, they are a cheap investment.

I've got the "more economical" version also ( didn't want to say "cheaper" )

 

Well I went with are ford parts guy stangkc05. I definitely feel a little tighter around turns etc. Just a general tighter feel. I highly recommend the ford racing strut tower brace. Good luck

 

That looks better than the Steeda IMO.

 

I agree! I would rather have it say "Ford Racing" than Steeda.

 

I kinda like the regular Steeda one... the black one with 2 bars...

 

Nice to see it fits over the new Intake cover

 

I have the Steeda one, and had it painted yellow. I think it really finishes off the engine.

 

Looks good!

 

Same here, got the Ford Racing strut tower brace through our TMS parts guy KC. Highly recommend.


Dvaphex,

Looks sweet!

 

Which one of the Steeda versions is better / stronger?

 

Hmm... define better??? If money is not an object, I would imagine the most expensive one... I got the black, less epxensive one... we shall see next week how easy it is to put on...

 

I wouldn't say money is not an object, but I'm willing to spend a little more to get the better product. (better = the one that stiffens the front end more)

 

Well, without a side-by-side comparison....

I went with the black two bar brace... I don't see how it could perform *worse* that the billet one...

 

Went with the Steeda billet. IMO it looks alot better. It fits perfectly over my plenum cover, attatches on all 4 point on the strut tower. and is adjustable. I also painted a victory flag pattern on it for a personal touch
