20 inch wheel package differences

[UTAR15]

Does anyone know if the '21 has same bracing and foam?

Not sure on 21's but my 2020 GT Prem. (10/28/2020 build date) has the firewall bracing, foam, and lower K brace.

I recently bought a 2016 GT Premium Convertible. I have the window sticker and it came from the factory with the 20" wheels,a $1500 option here in Canada,and it has the strut tower brace.Yesterday I peeled back the wheel well liners to adjust the LED fog lights and I didnt notice any foam filling behind the bumper.

Is there a chance that anyone could post some pics of the additional bracing? Thanks.

While I was installing the knuckle-to-toe link bearing on my 2015 GT base premium with 20” wheels I noticed that the toe links themselves had a spherical bearing instead of the standard bushing. I’d assumed that maybe this was just a mistake at the factory but now I wonder if they put them on the cars with 20” wheels to help control larger and heavier wheels.

No complaints from me though, just means I have one less thing to buy.

I believe there is a smaller version of that upper k brace under the car.

Correct - my car has the lower K brace. By the way, is this the same lower k brace a PP car has? Would assume so but the k brace looks like just cheaper stamped steel.

I knew my 2020 GT with the factory 20s option came with the upper K-brace from the PP cars and lower crossmember, but wasn't aware it came with foam blocks and oil filter access door. I've changed the oil twice now and wondered why the filter was so damn hard to get to.

That being said, I did think it felt stiffer than standard GTs without the 20s after driving it for a while. I've since added the strut tower brace and BMR jacking rails and it's nice to know it's on the same league as the PP cars now.

Adding the strut tower brace made a bigger difference than I would have thought. Ford should have just added this to all mustangs. I would have paid the extra $200 or whatever to already have it.

I have a 2019 GT Premium with 20" wheels and I have the upper and lower K Brace as well as the oil filter door. I do not have a strut tower brace.

I'm not sure I understand this foam thing. If you're talking about the little air passage that vents out in front of the front tire at the bottom of the inner fender were it meets up with the outer fender I have an open passage. I shone a flashlight into the vent in the front fascia and I could see the light through that passage coming into the wheel well.
