Strut tower brace for base Mustang GT

[Cucurú]

What do you suppose they mean by "Improves ride quality over rough surfaces?" Does this refer to better handling on rough surfaces, or ride comfort on regular streets?

Maybe they mean even you it's riding rough the brace helps you stay in control. Better to be a bit tough than like a spring feeling like you're bouncing around all over. I have more experience with my Harley and it's suspension tuned to sport. I could do things most people couldn't do on normal street bikes, and could bomb canyons hard core. No lowered pas that joint my friend Harley either. I could rip on it. Mustangs aren't Cadillacs, at least not like the old boat Cadillacs. They're meant for hard street/freeway driving. With a base 300A you can add to the car to make it drive to your likes and driving style. I did some hardcore driving today in my Wife's Mach 1 which had a Borla switchfire installed today. Talk about a badass ride. Thing rocks. But Mustangs are geared towards performance, not sitting with a gangster lean like in a Cadi riding nice and smooth.

Considering using my Ford Points on this... So what is the downside ?

Go for it. You get both STB and K brace.

Pretty sure those are all meant to be used with the cowl brace. The strut brace is supposed to sit on top, with the cowl brace acting as a bracket. I can't imagine torqueing down the strut brace on the bare towers...

Being my GT came with 20” wheels, the steel cowl brace was already installed at the factory. I just added the tower brace on top.

Ok that makes sense. I just wanted to point out you need both for those that may be reading this and don't have either.

Interesting that you noticed a difference with just the strut brace though. The cowl brace adds a lot of stability on it's own.

I was just as surprised..lol. I felt much more of a difference than I expected to. Maybe the 20’s don’t leave much tire cushion to absorb road imperfections. I felt everything!

You have 30 or 35 profile sidewalls?

Without getting up and looking, generic specs say 35’s. if it’s different, I’ll correct my post. 30’s would be rubber bands….lol.
