Strut Tower Brace?
Hey guys, quick question. I am trying to sell my Strut Tower Brace. It came from the factory and I have a 1997 Mustang GT. Will this brace fit 99-04 GT's as well?? Thanks.

the frame isn't exactly the same... couple minor changes.
yes you can MAKE it fit. no it will not fit right out of the box (been there done her). it's not worth the effort to put it on for most guys. |

moreover they figured out that the k-member was actually pretty rigid and the strut tower deflection on turds wasn't something that couldn't be fixed on the new-edge version and wasn't really that big a deal to start with. Deleting the stock brace saved probably a good 10 minutes of assembly line time not to mention the cost of the brace.
Aftermarket braces and even the stock on from the couple years (IIRC) that came with them do make a feel-able difference. But it's really not worth the effort. I have one and the couple hours of install time (lagging) isn't worth the result. I probably won't adapt it to work with the 5.4. |
