Good quality, I bought one for each of my foci . Not too flashy and not ridiculously stiff. Would recommend if you have to coin!

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.
