Default Steeda Strut Brace Installed

Installed a Steeda strut tower brace. Much more sure footed in the front end. Never really new the front was as "wobbly" as it was. Just over bumps and turns it really seems to help in the way the front end stays together. Can't wait for a little time off to put it in some curves.

Glad you're enjoying the Steeda STB. It's crazy how much of a difference any STB will make on a stock car. As you said, you never realize how sloppy the front end is until the STB is installed.

Enjoy the tighter suspension and practice those curvy turns!

I haven't noticed a difference, and I have the SR STB installed. Maybe it is just me, and I am so used to the way a Mustang feels it just doesn't register.

Our strut tower brace is made from high-strength chrome-moly steel and powder coated silver metallic. This easy-to-install bar will stiffen up the front end of your Mustang to improve vehicle handling.

Best Regards,

No problem! I have really noticed how much more firm the front end is now when I cross some railroad tracks diagonally going to and from work. Front end feels way more "solid" would be the word I would choose. Not as much twist in the front. Also tell Frank that I really appreciate the "thank you" cards!
