I added the @Steeda K-member brace on my 2025 GT with PP. It took some light mods to the undertray to make it fit. I also had to drill holes in the stakes to allow the use of washers to shim the brace away from the Trans cooler. I know their photo shows the under tray covering the K-member brace at the rear but that did not seem possible with bolt head and 2 shims pushing everything out about 3/4". as you can see in the photo the strakes wrap around the side with 2 screws holding it down and 2 bolt poking through. There is not even room for the 1/8" member bracket under the strakes.
I taped the piece I cut off back on the tray so you could see what I took off. sorry for the crappy after install pics. I forgot to take them when I had it on the ramps.
My first impression is that it significantly increases steering response and feedback. I was surprised at how much difference it made. Before the brace, there was a bit of vagueness to the steering, a feeling of uncertainty as to how the front wheels would respond to inputs. It does not improve the understeer that the mustang has. If anything it makes it more noticeable but at the same time It gave me more confidence to throw it into a tight corner.
My last sporty car was a Mazdaspeed3 and I had it set up to where you could yank the wheel and bounce the passenger's head off the glass. This mod made the mustang's steering respond more like that. I have the stop the hop kit for the rear but am waiting for warmer weather to install that so I can use my outdoor lift. I expect that mod will help stiffen up the rear and substantially improve the understeer it has now.
I am very happy with this mod. Just know if you want to retain the strakes and under tray with this you will need to make a few holes and cuts.
