I have been looking at getting a strut tower brace for my v6.
The only one I could find is the Steeda for $175.
Does anyone have this yet, and if so, did you notice a big differance?

I have the Steeda and it helps on the twisties.

I imagine all I would need to do is bolt it on using the same bolts as the front struts?

Yes, but unfortunately those do not fit the V6 models, unless I am mistaken

Last I heard the v6 was mounted a little higher in the engine bay which makes it a more difficult to use one.
Steeda does not have a picture for the v6 & v8 which makes me wonder if it is a typo or not.

They say they fit the v6 model!

I saw the Steeda one a while ago at www.stangsuspension.com , I wonder why it's like $20 bucks more than the one for the GT?

Both Ford's and Steeda braces will not fit the V6 -(well the more expensive Steeda - the twin bar design). Not sure if their single bar will fit. The V6 intake is higher - thus not allowing for clearance once the hood is down. I've ordered the V6 brace from Dallas Mustang - www.dallasmustang.com and will let everyone know if if fits. FYI I put a Saleen brace on my 05 Focus and it made an immediaite difference. Why Ford doesn't make these OEM on the car during production is beyond me.

It seems like my vert doesn't handle quite as well as the coupe.
I ordered the same thing from Steeda. Last time I ordered parts from Dallas Mustang they had to ship them from the mfg. I figure if I cut out the middle-man I might get the parts a little sooner...
