MM K-member brace

Has anybody installed this? Is it worth the $100? Just wondered if anyone could actually notice a difference from installing it. Thanks.

Are you reffering to the 4-point or 2-point one? I thought all mustangs 94-up came with a factory 2-point k-member brace. While quite heavy, the stock K-member is quite stiff from everything I have read. The MM k-member brace is more recommended for the Fox bodied stangs since a factory one was not available. My 'vert came with a factory 4-point x-brace (that scrapes every imperfection in the road) on the K-member, so I never really looked into aftermaket ones. So long story short, I doubt you'll notice a difference with the MM one. Get subframes instead if you don't already have them.

Our cars do have a factory 2-point brace. MM offers a 4-point replacement for it that is even stiffer. I didn't think it would be of too much help. I just noticed it on their site when I ordered their full length subframes and strut tower brace today. Thanks for the input.

Just in installed the 4pt brace last month. I like it alot myself, but pending what you want to do with the car, I would research all MM parts first on how they work and figure out what you can afford to spend.

What is it you like about it?

I put my MM K brace on several months ago and noticed a little bit of a difference. I'm sure from what MM states about it, that it is doing more than the simple 2-bolt brace. I think the biggest difference I could tell was that the front suspension seemed to smoothen out more. Even with my stiffer springs and other front stuff, the brace did help comfort wise and (from what I can tell) sudden turns and higher speed turns are now even more precise up front.

MM includes this brace in many of their kits, so there is something to it. I felt a bigger difference with subs, but at that time I had no suspension mods.

For $100, I think the brace is worth it, especially if you're doing other suspension stuff. Making the K member stiffer is always a good thing.
