Great addition
I actually purchased and installed the Lower Front Stress Bar, the Upper Front Stress Bar (Strut Tower Brace) and the Rear Stress Bar all together on my 2005 ST. Took a couple of hours to install all three with basic hand tools. Well worth the investment, in my opinion. While I don't "track" the car, or race it, I do enjoy "driving" it. I don't have any numbers to quantify how well these work, but I can say that, subjectively, the whole car is much tighter and feels noticeably more solid. I've owned the car for going on 4 years. It's lowered (Eibach Pro Kit), with Ford Racing, SVT dampers, FSWerks cold air intake, FSWerks Stealth exhaust, and VF-Engineering Rear Engine Mount (thanks FSWerks :)). These braces are the latest addition, and I couldn't be happier. Handling is improved, as the car seems to turn in better (less under steer/push), and actually rotates slightly on lift throttle (I think the alignment is working better with the new found stability in the suspension). Thanks FSWerks for some great products. Having lots of fun with this car, without breaking the bank.
Great buy!!!
This is a great product well made. Install went very well and it was easy. The only thing that was got in the way was the trans pan on the driver side but that was only a corner of the bolt but still easy. For install I used 21mm shallow and beaker bar for the nut on the back and 18mm an extension and impact. I would high recommend getting new bolts and nuts. Front wheels have more grip!!
Much Improved cornering
Grip really has improved and I've been able to push much harder in curves without breaking grip. It has also given me much more confidence even when I come into curves too fast.
