Awesome! Thanks for the link. How long was the install? I'll be installing an Afco aluminum radiator, which has been sitting in my garage, when I get the BMR radiator support. Been wantin' to reduce front end weight ever since I got the Whipple.

Edit: Oh yeah and the CB004 brace is in prototype and will be released in the near future from what BMR told me this morning.
it took me about an 1 and 1/2 but if it wasnt for this stupid Mishimoto radiator it probably could of been done in under an hour!!!!

If you put the Steeda radiator support in, you will no longer be able to install the 4 point chassis brace (4lbs) that will be worth much more steering and handling compliance than saving 9lbs around the radiatior'

All the 11' and up Mustangs come with this brace stock, so it is an essential piece that improves handling, steering accuracy, and ant-roll support.

I'd get the brace instead. Unless you're a drag racer, then forget my post and punch it! Erik

BUT if you install the BMR radiator support you could install their chassis brace and hook it up to their K-member which he already expressed was on his to-do list and have the whole front end braced up and tight. You could get it all and be a happy camper

If you are referring to what Ford engineering refers to as the Z-brace, then that is incorrect, our radiator support for 2011+ vehicles retains the attachment points for this bracing.
