Steeda offers two braces for the front subframe. The Gtrack is a 4 point triangulated design , the 2 point is pretty much just a straight bar. Does the gtrack provide a noticable improvement over the 2 point brace on a car that is never tracked? I do use the car for spirited drives on twisting roads, but nothing more demanding than that. I am concerned with the Gtrack having clearance issues. It hangs lower than the 2 point. My car will be lowered on Steeda progressive springs with a 1.25" front drop. I noticed someone complained theirs scrapped, but dont know how low they were. Does anyone have experience with both? Would the 2 point serve my needs just as well, wout causing ground clearance problems? I appreciate any help/insight you may be able to provide.

Neither, if you're going to do anything go for the BMR CB006.
I'm open to the suggestion. Why would you recommend it over the two braces I mentioned?

Doesn't reduce ground clearance by any significance, and adds stiffness directly to the lateral arm mounting points.

I have the steeda 2 point, mainly because i couldnt afford the gtrack when i bought all the other suspension stuff lol. I like the 2 point, front end is planted. I have also have a STB, cobb lowering springs, MM c/c plates, and bumpsteer on the front. I will say I have scrapped the 2 point on stuff before, well the bolts scrapped at one point.

Invest in the Ford performance pack firewall k-brace and strut tower brace first, if you don’t have these already.

I like and use the the Steeda 2-point brace; it gives a noticeable increase in steering feel for a low price and easy install.

My car is a 2018 performance package level 1. I believe it came equipped with some or all of those items...idk maybe I'm mistaken?

You are correct the 2 point will serve your needs. The two point does provide more ground clearance.

Do you know where I could find a picture of this mounted on the car? I would like to see how this supports things compared to the Steeda one. Steeda has a photo of it mounted. But, BMR does not.
