I have the Steeda Billet Tower Brace....I did not feel a difference but was not expecting it. I did it more for the underhood looks!

Unless you are planning on running the car HARD at a road course or auto cross you will never notice a difference. Even in those situations you would notice very little.

My '96 GT has one stock. Couldn't feel a difference with or without it. Drove it pretty hard on the street no road course or autoX.

strut brace reply

BMR strut tower brace all the way!!!!!!!!!!!! I installed it myself, and can easily feel the difference and feel more stable on hard turns. It's got an extra cross bar and helps triangulate front-rear torsion. I feel firmer, more on rails, and put more use on my stock sway bars in hard turns. my passengers feel it even more than me. plus it's half the price of steeda. I think I got it at either LMPerformance or MustangTuning.com. Great investment and recommendation for a close friend who has been racing for 30 years.
