ok, im looking at STB's, and on mustangtuning (or maybe v6stuff, dont remeber) and i want to know if there are different types of them that i need? i ask this becasue on one site it sells one that says "GT Only", and theres one for the cobra, etc.. the cobra one on mustangtuning is 100 bucks while the GT & V6 one is 150..is the cobra one different/worse/better?

some guidance please

 

The one for the Cobra is shaped differently for the S/C application.

 

but would it not fit in a v6? or could i use that .. or is the clearance for the hood different?

 

I think the cobra brace will have clearence issues with the hood. Also, I believe the V6 and GT braces are a triangle, 3pt brace. The cobra is only from strut to strut because of the s/c.

Yeap. Mine is no where near that high!

 

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I have a 2004 V6. It appears from pics of earlier years that the strut towers and firewall is pre-drilled for the brace even if it's not factory installed. My 2004 does not appear to have the holds, and if i wanted to install a brace I'd have to drill and tap. Is that correct? Also, if I were to spring for a brace, would I get the one for a GT?

 

I drilled the holes just large enough for the bolt to pass thru and put a self-locking nut on from under the wheel well. You may need a second set of hands to tighten. As for which brace to buy, in my experence, it is always better to get the unit designed for your application. You're almost always gonna get a good & easy install.
