The additional traction will make up for the minimal weight added. Hell I could stand to lose 12lbs and then it's an equal exchange. 😆 🤣
I have the braces new in box laying around (intended to put them on my Bullitt but never got to and now have a Mach 1 6-speed).

With you and ChitownStang having an A10 and speaking about the benefits for hard launches, do you notice any benefits for handling and do you think a manual Mach 1 would benefit?

I installed these along with the subframe bolt bushings and noticed a difference under harder acceleration. When I added the g-trac brace in the front my cornering also seemed to improve.

By reinforcing the IRS system, the Steeda S550 IRS Braces can help to improve the Mustang's overall handling and stability, particularly during hard launches and aggressive cornering.

Additionally, the braces can help to reduce wheel hop, which is a common problem with the IRS system on the S550 Mustang - both on the Auto & Manual.

It's a very straightforward install (bolt-in design) - so you won't be losing too much time on the install & if they don't feel like an upgrade - there is a tremendous market for these - you won't lose.

Do the braces fit in conjunction with the Steeda full length jacking rails?

Not sure, I have the short rails.

I would trade the jacking rail for the IRS brace any day and 3 times on Sunday. You can use the brace as a jacking point or as a jack stand point. Steeda doesn't advertise it but the braces tie the subframes together.

Yes - both are designed to work in conjunction with the jacking rails.

I have both installed on my GT500 and they work/fit like a champ with a little room to spare. This is one of the reasons why I went with all Steada parts.
