Anyone using one on an 05-07 S/C coupe?

Just wondering if any of them will fit?

I believe Joe at Chicane Sport Tuning has one that works with the Saleen blower. The tower brace actually passes between the plenum an the blower. Sick

Will a strut tower brace even do anything on an 05? It's pretty much been a worthless mod for years for anyone that doesn't hardcore roadrace.

I have to disagree with you there. I have seen several guys claim there is a lack of structural integrity in the newer mustangs, and that the strut tower brace helps hold alignment and tighten the front end.

Besides- tons of guys dump 4 and 5 bills on more worthless mods than a 100 dollar strut brace.

I was asking, hence the question mark, not making a statement about the newer cars, since i truely don't know for fact.
But, i find it hard to believe that the most rigid mustang ever has structural integrity problems that can be solved with a strut tower brace, under true street conditions with street tires.

I'm with Joe on this one.


The new mustang platform is supposedly 40% more rigid than the last body style. The tower brace does look good though. The foxbody cars were the ones that really needed them.
