I know the GT/CS model comes with the strut tower brace and the K firewall brace. With both of those, is there a need, or what serves the purpose of Steeda's K-Member brace for the subframe under the car? Is this Steeda's version of the K brace attached to the firewall? I would really like to tie the chassis together as much as possible.

Are you talking about the "Steeda Extreme G-Trac K-Member Brace"?

Steeda's K-Member brace goes underneath the car, to brace the front subframe. The factory strut tower brace and K firewall brace are at the top of the strut tower, more at the cowl level. So Steeda's K-Member brace will fit.

I have a PP car with the K-Member brace installed. I feel the front end is already pretty rigid from the factory, so I can't say the difference was night and day. The steering response was a little sharper. If you want to tie the chassis together as much as possible, then this mod will be a worthwhile investment.
