Default Had to remove my strut tower bar, now I cry

I bought a CAI and it wouldn't fit under my strut tower bar, I took it, but now my car handles ever more like poo. Will this get any better when I get my Eibachs put on or do I need to find an aftermarket bar to fit over my CAI?

It will handle way better after you lower it. I don't know about the bars though.

how bout some subframe connectors, that should make up for most, if not all of the handling loss

Yeah, most mustangs dont come with the strut tower brace anyways so once you lower your car it will handle just fine.

You can get away without a strut brace. It makes the car handle better if you have one on though. Look into getting a aftermarket one Like Maximum Motorsports, Steeda, etc.
