Purchased a FRPP strut tower bar off a member on another forum. Here is a shot of my engine bay so far.

 

Nice,did you notice handling improvement?

 

Now you can hang Christmas ornaments from it next year

 

Haha yea I got one for Xmas. Otherwise I wouldn't have got one. I can feel a little difference though. I really couldnt care less about handling myself

 

That's all I care about... I did the drag racing thing years ago... I was very successful at it... But now I want to challenge myself... Anyone can drive in a straight line... It takes a certain type of person to run a 1/4 mile ***** out and instead of shutting her down head into some twisties... while maintaining speed and chasing someone down and or defending your position... Plus if you have xyz bolt-on and no suspension to put the newly acquired power down and you run against someone who is stock, but full suspension ... 9 times out of 10 he/she beats you...

... Off soap box :-)

 

A local mustang performance shop has dyno sheets proving a full undercarriage set up ( like sub frame connectors, aluminum fly wheel, aluminum drive shaft, xyz clutch, FRPP handling pack or whatever brand, )and dyno tune... dynos better numbers than cai, tunner, tb, lt headers... Ect

 

Overall it feels a little more solid in the front but that could be more psychological than real handling improvements. Lol anyway, I guess it would be a good place to hang a stocking.

 

An STB SEEMS to stiffen things up but I wouldn't be able to tell..not a twisty kind of guy.

Sure looks cool though.

 

Thanks man

 

Painted my CAI today and added the radiator cover extensions today. My hood strut kit hasn't arrived yet so having to use the stick to prop good open. Lol

 

What kind of paint did you use? Can u use brake paint?

 

I actually used Plasti-dip. If it doesn't stay on good I will peel it off and probably get it powder coated.

 

Good job dude. It wasn't that easy searching for strut bar online or other car parts. There could be a lot of varieties but you must know what is compatible with your vehicle. BTW I like what you did on your engine! Pretty cool dude!

 

Did that bar clear your intake plenum? I have that bar and it was rubbing on the cover bad so i took it off. I really like the look of the engine with it on. I jacked up the bar with washers but I didn't like it so I just took the cover off.
