Steeda 2 point brace install - review

[wildcatgoal]

The tapped holes where jacking rails go are likely used during production/assembly.

The holes in the subframe up front... I can't figure that one out, either.

I know one thing...

I looked at the underbelly of a new SS/1LE and it looked confused compared to the 350. But at least Chevy sent it home with a factory brace... it just looks hastily and cheaply done.

Installed mine yeaterday took 15 min, I had to remove the metal shards from the punch process of the k member, I also had to sand down the round slugs on my belt Sander because they were too long. Fits good and all, took a drive and feels fine I haven't had much seat time with it. It made a huge improvement on my 15GTpP. These gt350 will always tram line the front footprint is HUGE but you can mess around with front toe to help if you know a shop who is good at setting cars up.

Took a ride today and came across the town road crew filling in potholes. Had to drive through the aftermath, which kicked up rocks all over the place, so I scrubbed the tires (quick L to R transitions at maybe 30MPH). I do this often on my way home to clean the tires off as our road also ends up with a lot of rocks and pebbles. I was extremely surprised at the sharpness of the steering with this brace. It really made a big difference to me.

Just a thought: Why does Ford decide to punch holes into this sub-frame member? Bigger holes towards the front and smaller ones towards the rear. Is it they are in bed with the aftermarket? Same goes for the Jacking rails (which I also have). Ford adds tapped holes and inserts with hardware for no reason?

weight reduction!!

I removed the punched out metal that was still attached to the hole and OMG the car feels completely different!

One though I had to improve the design was to triangulate the ends to cover the larger holes, thus improving stiffness further, with minimal weight impact.

Thank you for the feedback & diagram. I am putting this in an email for our manufacturing team - Many Thanks!

Has anyone installed this with the shelby transmission cooler scoop? It looks like they'll probably interfere.. I'm wondering how much....

 

[kartguy898]

From what I read, the Shelby trans scoop and this brace are not compatible.

Not sure to what you are referring. Mine is a 2017 and it went on with zero issues to include any clearance issues. If the tarns scoop you are referring to is an aftermarket add on, then I have no clue.

Edit: I just found what you are talking about. It does look like it would interfere. I am sure TJ will chime in soon and clarify.
