Hey guys I have all the other parts installed since I bought the car but never got around to buying the lower k brace. I’m tired of having to take the whole panel off to do an oil change so I’m looking for the parts. I can get everything fairly cheap from a local dealer online but they want 9 dollars each for the 6 bolts that hold the brace. Could these be sourced from a parts store if so does anyone know the size.

Disregard the previous post I found them fairly cheap. Helpful hint for someone looking in the future though is to look for local dealers that allow you to search and buy parts through their website. Being that they’re local I saved about 40 dollars in shipping.

What exactly does the extension plate do? I have a cowl brace for both my wife’s and my car. We do not have the extension. Thanks.

It ties it all together. I did not add it when I first did my cowl brace. After many saying it was needed I added It. I felt a difference. If I got another base car I'd add it.

Did you remove the wipers to add the extension plate, i have it but been lazy to tackle it, was it difficult?

I was a professional mechanic for many years so what I say is easy might be a pain for others.

I did pull the passenger side wiper, and I used a 2x4 to wedge the cover up. I was able to squeeze it in.

All in all not too hard, the worst part was removing the other braces. I hate doing the same job twice on the same car.

I did this without pulling wipers. Used a small chunk of 2x4 to wedge everything up. It’s doable

Some of you guys might not like this one. I couldn't get a wiper puller when I did mine. So I used a ball joint separator. Put it under the arm and cushioned it. Popped the center bolt and it separated instantly. Love the ride now that the STB, brace and extender are in. Planning to do the lower K soon. Will probably add the Steeda K too.

Well I finally pulled the trigger on the extension bracket. I really hope it does all I’ve been reading about it. I have had the cowl brace and strut brace for a year now and I still feel a delay in response. I also have Eibach Sportline springs, GT350R swaybars and a bunch of BMR goodies.

Sadly my wife’s 2018 Mustang Ecoboost only has the Eibach Sportlines as a handling mod and the steering is amazingly direct. That light nose…. I need to get my car feeling like hers. I love it. But I don’t like how slow it is. LOL!

There is an install video for this mod on YouTube. You don’t need to remove the wipers. I recommend anyone doing this should check the video out.

I’ve only seen the vids for the braces. Not the extension. Everyone in YT seem to not know about it.

You don't need to, but it makes it much easier. I removed mine, with a cheap puller it's quick and simple.
