Ford cracked mine working on my car once.. I've pulled the new one off a half dozen times since that, flexed like a mofo but never felt like it was gonna crack.

It doesn't look like steeda makes a strut tower brace for a '04 GT. If so, can someone post a link. Thanks.

I believe that they DO sell one for an 04, it's just that they have not updated that information on their website. Their website says it only goes up to 02 on the STB, but they had one for mine and it went on perfect. I also believe that 03 and 04 are exactly the same, if so, it'll work.

You can always just ask them. gofast@steeda.com

Great investment by the way.

Can you guys remove the bolts from one side of the strut tower brace, then paint it or chalk it, then drive it around? That way we can see how much movement is actually being prevented.

I felt a huge difference in my car with synth. rack bushings, strut tower brace (steeda), and rear shock steeda brace

its amazing how slushy the body is before it

i wonder why i didnt do chassis mods earlier.
it should be done before power mods.

a fast slushy mustang is just no fun for me.

How was the install on the rear tower brace? Did you have to weld and did it interfere with trunk space?

Yeah, but I saw that your Patent is still pending so I thought I would infringe on it for a little while.

Actually, our cars look very similar except for the chin spoiler. Seen ur pics. Very nice by the way. (can you detect the butt kissing cause of the avatar?) JK.

I haven't done a photo shoot yet, so I didn't have a better one at the time. sorry.
