Deal of the day for 05-14 owners

[RazorbackMustang]

All 2011+ stangs get the front STB, including V6. No rear STB's on the verts ( like the rear stb from steeda and others) The rear X brace that steeda sells (that fits behind the rear seats, doesn't require a rear seat delete) won't work on a vert, only a coupe.

At least on the coupe, no big deal to add additional bracing.

Are you talking about convertibles? Because on GT models, only 19" wheel cars or Brembo cars got the strut tower brace.

When's the next deal of the day?

Improves handling (sure, if your car does not already have a lower tie bar)
limits g-loading, (improved handling implies g-loading that's increased, not limited)

Reduces A-Arm flex (does nothing of the sort)

Ideal for lowered cars (no more so than for unlowered cars, so what's the point here?)

It's getting harder and harder to not think of GMS as being the internet's J.C. Whitney/Warshawsky.


You asked . . .

Why don't you do the same analysis for all the parts that Roush, Steeda, Whiteline, and BMR sell? Well, why not? Then you can announce that they too are like J.C. Whitney.

The funniest thing about all your posts on this thread is how you can't see the forest for the trees. You want everyone to revere you for your engineering prowess and bow to your feet for setting all of the ignorant fools straight on how the world works and sadly you are just as guilty of the crime you have charged all of us of. You state how you should NEVER consider a part just because it looks stronger when you have no engineering data to support your desire to own said part. You have gone on to say that GMS (apparently just the name alone is enough) has junk parts. And yet you have admitted that the brace GMS is selling is superior to the stocker. Of course at this point you will vehemently deny ever saying this (this is where the forest and trees come in) but possibly even on a subconscious level you too just looked at it and said it's stronger. If you didn't do what I just described, then please enlighten us to the reason you wouldn't put this brace on was because it has the potential of doing more damage to the car in side strike accident? How could it do more damage if it WASN'T stronger? You didn't buy one and do a structural analysis on it, yet you wouldn't use it because it's stronger. Not all gut level engineering is wrong, oh it may lack exact data, but you too looked at a the steel tube brace and instantly knew it is stronger than a stamped steel brace. How many race car chassis are made of all stampings and how many have been made of tubing? At this point you will attempt to prove me an idiot because tubing isn't tubing, there are wall thicknesses and alloys and grades of steel, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah. The basic physics show tubing to better than a U stamping and you know it. (don't get all engineer about it either start in about if the stamping was thick enough blah blah blah). So in the end you are just as guilty as the rest of us and maybe even worse in that you are maligning a companies parts with no knowledge what so ever of the components strength and yet you want us to believe we are all too ignorant to make a decision on what parts to buy for our own cars.

Next up will be the pair of steeda chromolly braces for the front sway bar. Whiteline makes a similar product (both are for 05-10 cars only). I suppose those are semi useless too. Well, between the pair of steeda CM front sway bar braces, oem control arm brace, BMR A arm brace, and the steeda front CM STB, it sure as heck feels a lot different. I view the front STB over the eng, as closing off the 4th side of a rectangle.

Between the 5 additional braces.... + steeda HD strut mounts and steeda HD eng mounts, it feels more solid. Perhaps not very scientific, and a bit of... 'hip pocket engineering' but the car feels better. This is just the front end bracing mods.
Then the rear ( welded) stb, rear tunnel brace and pair of CM sub frame connectors..also welded in. I'm happy with the results, but you really need to put it all in, as each piece alone is contributing a small portion. I jump in any 4 of my local buddies bone stock (as in no additional braces, oem eng + strut mounts), I can tell the difference asap, real obvious. So at least in this case, all the bracing vs none at all, yes you can feel the difference.

Was it worth it, to me it was. I was up for a good experiment anyway. Since nobody locally had tried any of it, I decided to try it myself.

Does anyone know of this bar gives additional exhaust pipe clearance?

Anyone want to sell me theirs?

I haven't installed mine, and I don't see me doing it, sooo... I'd be willing to part with mine.

Send me a PM with an offer.
