Well I like this one, obviously because of the nice ford racing badging, plus you know it's quality if its from them. It also looks twice as solid as the steeda. Steeda's is made of two caps then a rod connects betweent them that is fairly thin.
this has a solid built frame no extra attatchments, and the bars look thicker and two of them Looks like this thing is solid, no deviation, as steedas looks a little flimsier, but shiny and pretty.

Simple bolt on it stiffens up the front. The steeda piece has an option for changing the caster or camber? can't remember which. That would require an alignment but you don't have to change the camber.

I don't think the Steeda is adjustable as far as camber & caster. I think it is adjustable for the pressure between the towers. It has heim joints to adjust the fit.
This new chassis is so stiff (just look at the frame rails) I'm not sure how much benefit you will get on the street.

Not sure what it costs. Isn't available yet I dont think. Will be soon I am sure. Contact Ford Racing to ask them when it might be available. Probably after the first of the year. I will wait, also interested in shaker from cdc, so well see what happens. Glad you like it, I certainly liked it more than the other pics I have seen and looks darn solid. Yes new mustang is supposed to be stiffer than previous, but can never be too stiff. HeHEHE

For daily driving.... no need, but if you plan on corning in your Mustang, it's a wise investment.... not only does it help you handle better by giving the front end a little more rigidity, it'll keep you from tearing your fenders over the years....
That's a more comon problem in vintage Mustangs than in the newer ones, but I had tears in the bolt hols on my fenders under the hood on my '88 from doggin' it pretty hard in the corners.
IMO, it'd be worth it to even keep little rattles and squeeks developing over time.
