Thanks! I was looking into this.

I had sway bars installed and they made a huge difference, So I'm sure I could benefit from this. :)

had mine installed today, its a well made piece and fit perfectly.

Steeda if your reading please include a 12mm allen wrench for the front bolts as nobody in the shop had one and not even the local Snap on guy, i mean just throw in a wrench or even a slug to use with an open end, the method Bill shows at CJ PP with the bolt works if you can scrounge up a strong enough hardened bolt otherwise they snap. My guys found a Torx 55 or 60 that fit and they torqued to proper spec.

Now in NYC the roads are battered and I noticed a very substantial difference in bump steer and ride quality and overall tightness of the front end. My car is a GT PP with sway bars, springs, larger wheels and super sticky tires and overall this is another home run from Steeda. Even though my car has the PP bracing every little bit helps and this surely does. not many may notice unless you drive on poor roads and really know the car well enough to notice but the improvement is well worth the upgrade.

Well done Steeda thanks for another great product, just include the 12mm or switch to a standard bolt to make install for most shops and DIY customers easier.

thanks

Did anyone notice any additional NVH with the Brace or Sway Bars?

Nope, did the brace, trans mount, springs, and sways all at one time. It's just as quite as it was before.

Have both, and absolutely no NVH. Just much better handling and front end solidity.

As you can see from the feedback, no NVH whatsoever!

Cheap tools are your friend, had this set in my toolbox and it has taken care of many an oddball need over the years. Made installing my brace fairly easy.

This is great to hear. After putting Shelby Sways on my 11 GT and all the NVH it caused I was afraid to go down this road again.

Swapping sway bars should not change NVH at all. There must have been some other issue like worn out bushings or links.

I didn't think they would change NVH either, but after I put back on the stock parts the NVH went away.

Is the g-trac only for Performance Pack cars? If I get a non-performance pack car, will I be able to install one, and how would the relative feel be?
