STRUT TOWER BRACE ADVICE

BLKVERT · May 18, 2004

Okay fellow SN's...need some advice...in regards to strut tower braces....
was considering purchasing one...but need to know what to look for. Thanks in advance.

its one of those you get what you paid for kind of deal IMO. Sometimes I see STB goes between etrut tower only which is usually pretty cheap, and then there is something like Steeda,or FRPP one(which is what I have) that are little more, but its 3pts mounting.
I say go with Steeda or FRPP. I'm pretty happy with mine. you can tell that its there if your car is lowered, and have really stiff shocks dude

So then FRPP or Steeda???

mity2 · May 18, 2004

can't go worng with them. Don't know ho else makes them

Tylerb59 · May 18, 2004

Go with the Steeda.

It's not a night and day difference like the sub frames are once installed, but it all adds up when paired with other aftermarket suspension pieces. Definately firms up the front end, but again not a huge difference in handling.

BLKVERT · May 18, 2004

So then is it really worth it???? Or spend the $$ elsewhere?

BLKVERT · May 18, 2004

Also...I have the C/C plates on already will this be an issue for the install???

SheDevil · May 18, 2004

I only know about the Steeda STB (cuz I just installed it on my car last friday) and the c/c plates shouldn't make a difference. The brace bolts on in front of them. At Steeda.com they have install instructions with pictures in the Tech section. You'll see what I mean.

If you go with the Steeda, I can give you a couple pointers cuz the install was a bit of a pain.

Get a Steeda man. That's what I had on the old ride before I got rid of it. It'll compliment the rest of your existing suspension mods.

BTW, got your invitation in the mail, we'll be there.......

mity2 · May 19, 2004

I think Steeda and FRPP are about same BTW. 've installed STB and C/C plate, and there is no issue at all.

By the way, am I like the only one in here with FRPP STB ?

GoldnGT · May 19, 2004

Apparently.. LOL I have the Steeda 3pt one... i love it.. when i would go around steep curves i could tell a difference in the handling.. not much.. but its there.. its worth the investment in my oppinion.

Think I just might have to....

And I really hope both of you will be able to make it.

BLKVERT · May 19, 2004

Also does it make more of a differnce in Verts or is that just primarily for the SFC's?

And mity2, looks like you the only one with the FRPP...I am sure there is probably no difference from the Steeda one.

StevenGT-02 · May 19, 2004

I have the 4130 Chrome Molly version from Steeda and love it..Helps firm up the front end..Remember anything you add to the chassis to stiffen it up is good, the mustang chassis needs all the help it can get. Like the other threads, not as noticeable as the SFC but felt a difference; especially driving hard in turn or turning up a steep driveway. Steeda has the standard and chrome molly version..spend the extra $$.

BLKVERT · May 19, 2004

Is the Chrome Molly Version the only one Steeda offers.....and will I have to remove the C/C plates to get it installed?

No not at all! its not THAT large! it goes on in front of the CC plates. I don't have a camera right now or i'd go take a pic of mine for ya.

BLKVERT · May 19, 2004

Pic would be great...this is the deciding factor. Thanks for anyone that has a pic.
