Dennis-96GT · May 1st, 2007, 10:56 PM

HMUSN · May 1st, 2007, 11:03 PM

its a strut tower bar, it sitffens up the front end of the car significantly and prevents body flex

HMUSN · May 1st, 2007, 11:04 PM

you WANT that on your car man

k2boarder3187 · May 2nd, 2007, 12:22 AM

why dont they have it on the 98?

ujslost · May 2nd, 2007, 12:29 AM

Thats actually a good question dude really. Im sure your not the only person here who wondered that. Ive actually got a spare one if someone needs one. But the way you described it as "D" shaped well.....

Dennis-96GT · May 2nd, 2007, 08:53 AM

well actually it is D shaped if you turn it sideways i want to know if it came with the car or if its aftermarket and i guess that would explain why my car takes corners like its on train tracks

ujslost · May 2nd, 2007, 09:14 AM

mine came factory with one

Casper98GT · May 2nd, 2007, 09:40 AM

it is a strut brace and yeah it is a D shape. I knew what you were talking about, why is everyone laughing ??

Some years and certain productions have them. Mine does not.

Dennis-96GT · May 2nd, 2007, 04:11 PM

96GT_Driver · May 2nd, 2007, 06:34 PM

k2boarder3187 · May 2nd, 2007, 07:39 PM

mine has one but i thought they didnt put them on the 98s my friend has a 98 gt and his doesnt have one he bought it new

98SilverBullet · May 2nd, 2007, 10:04 PM

My '98 didn't come stock with the Strut Tower Brace

burlingtonNC98GT · May 2nd, 2007, 11:19 PM

mine doesnt have one either. should i buy one?

MustangMatt96GT · May 2nd, 2007, 11:24 PM

I will give better handling and a stiffer set up! I personally would get one, but if you ever plan on getting a JLT cai you will have to use washers underneath someparts to get the intake to fit!
