I've tried installing that exact strut brace on my 03 and it did not fit. It was too short, the back was a good inch away from the firewall.

 

Really? It fit perfectly on mine

 

Yeah it wouldn't fit. Yet I took it off of a SN95 car, didn't make sense.

 

Personally, in regards to the PaceSetter comments, I like the sound difference they make, however they ARE EXTREMELY difficult to install.. I've done them twice, on 2 friends cars, the problem is that you would need to remove the upper intake, and valve covers to increase clearance however they still drive into the firewall on the way down and come over the heads quite a bit, in other words, they get stuck. We spent hours trying to get them on in both scenarios. Eventually we got them by reshaping some things, and I like the sound difference, but idk, the amount of work you have to put into them is immense. Although I must add, one of my friends says he notices better top end performance.

 

That sounds like a lot of work, I think I'm gonna skip out on those haha

 

It was for us, but I'm sure someone has been able to get them in well. Hopefully they will comment. I'm sure the other brands are different. But that's just my experience with them lol.

 

Hey guys, its been a while! Well the local junkyard is having a 50% off sale and I wanted to pick up a t lock for my car, or just switching out the rear end entirely. The 8.8 rear end has a lsd in it already right?

Thanks!

 

Oh and also I already started on a 84 gt with the 7.5 rear end but I didn't have the proper tools to completely disassemble it. How do I remove the the axles so I could pull out the diff?

 

I've seen that before on some 99-04 Mustangs they'll fit, some they won't. Basically some car the metal flange at the back of the engine bay is the right size and on some its either shorter or non existent, just depends.
