RE: Steeda Billet Strut Tower Brace for the GT
If you want to reduce understeer the Steeda front and rear swaybars really help. I later added the Steeda Billet Strut Tower Brace, G-Trac Brace, and Rear Shock Tower Brace to stiffen up the car. The difference is noticable even with the stock 17" tires.
My next step to increase stiffness will be to replace the K-Membeer with the BMR unit. This comes with its own version of the G-Trac brace.

I don't have hands-on experience with that bar in particular, but I can tell you from a "laws of the universe" standpoint the bar will improve handling over nothing at all, but a solid bar would be better. Having the bar tie the towers together will improve lateral rigidity, but the spherical joints will still allow the chassis to "parallelagram", ie. move up and down independent of each other. The solid Steeda brace will prevent much more flex since any movement will have to deflect the steel itself. Somewhat funny considering the billet one is so much more expensive.

Edelbrock Strut Tower Brace for 2005-2006 Mustang.
considering this, and only this, suspension improvement $120.00, do you think it will make a noticeable difference in handling?
how would you describe that "difference"?
under what conditions would it be noticed?
Thanks!
