strut brace 07 v6 Mustang will this improve handling?
Just wondering if this looks like a reputable strut brace, seems like a good price too. Only thing that gets me worried is if the material is strong and light.
let me know what you all think.

There's a lot better stuff for handling than a strut tower brace.
Tires, shocks, springs, sway bars all give way more improvement.
The FRPP A-arm brace makes a bigger difference that the STB.
Also, search on blue oval industries. Lots of problems.

Not sure if you went with the strut tower you originally listed already or not, but we have a great selection of strut towers for your sixer! SR performance makes an excellent/affordable strut tower, however it does say GT in the middle, which I'm not sure if you'll be fond of. Another options is Steeda's strut tower brace, which is similar top notch quality, as well!
If you have more questions, just let me know!

184$ vs 75$ is a big difference for a piece of metal that keeps flexing from happening....
If the strut brace had Led lights on it and gave me 30 + hp id buy it for 184$.
Time to adjust prices for all consumers.
and i dont see where it says GT in the ebay pictures i looked at.

Yep, pretty much.
Quieted up the front suspension a little for a minor improvement in feel, but that's about it.
I only did it because I got it for super cheap. Like less than $40 or something. It was an AM part from their ebay store.

Upgraded springs/shocks/sway bars will help with that. A strut tower brace isn't going to fix body roll at all.
