Hey all Im considering getting an aftermarket strut brace and k-member brace for my vert but if I wont feel the difference on the street I would divert the funds to a new intake. Those of you who threw on a brace and k-member brace did you notice any immediate difference?

There is no need for an aftermarket strut tower brace unless you have an aftermarket intake that the stock one won't clear.

You might feel a difference with the K-member, but I'm not sure about that.

If you have a 'vert, do it.
No roof structure to hold the car together.
Ford makes an inexpensive brace that'll clear the GT-40 intake.

I wouldn't. The stock one does its job. An aftermarket one isn't going to be noticably different. Go with full length subframes. You will definitely notice that.

The k-member brace or the strut brace? (I got mm's full lengths installed already).
I was considering the MM strut brace because its a little better then stock supposedly.. I made a mistake earlier I am just getting the k-member brace for now not the actual k-member. I know the strut bar wont do much for handling but if it reduces cowl shake im all for it
