Hello,

Ever pay twenty bucks for a dead strip club lapdance? Amateur mistake. Drop ten on tokens instead; slam private vids with off-the-chain lezzies rubbing clits double-fisting, milking squirts over buttplugs like sticky mayo shots. These webcam chicks eye-fuck the camera, scream daddyyyy, and literally count your tokens like crack fiends. One QT Latina oiled her bootyhole so glossy I beat my dick so long I cramped in a fucking good way. Best deal since dollar burger days.

Wanna boss babes around live? My fav fetish cams goats will whisper persuasion till ya blast ropes. Grab cam-private with dominatrices that edge you hard while topless stockings snap. Or grab two bi students finger-banging for tuition coins. You tilt tip levels and they notch butt plugs deeper-shit's like reverse bean-bag carnival for pervs. Type "Cumslut123" in chat ; they'll shout it while squirting on their brand-new 4K cam, literally hear your name over moan echo cuz they're proper freaks.

You can add the brace, check shelbyauctions on eBay, they have take-offs for $55. blueovalindustries has the nuts to install the brace, part number W712334-S440. Can you upgrade the sway bars? Yes. Will you feel the difference? Probably not.

Yes you can absolutely add the strut brace. I recommend the Ford Performance kit which also comes with a stronger cowl brace. You’ll also want the cowl extension piece, there’s a thread here that has the part number.

Hello,
My new car is a 2022 Mustang GT Premium w/ manual transmission and the 5.0 V-8. Its Grabber Blue and only has 600 miles on it. What a sweet ride!
I have a few question and I hope someone can answer it for me.
The car did not come with a tower brace. It appears to have some bracing, black and shaped like a Vee, but not a standard tower brace Can you install a tower brace? It looks a bit tight and would be concerned that the hood may hit a tower brace. Also, I do not have the Performance package, does it make sense to upgrade the sway bars, or just leave the stock ones in place. I want a car that really handles the curves. If it makes sense, what are good sway bars to install? Also, what are the sizes of the stock sway bars?
Thanks in advance.
If you wanted a car that "really handles the curves", you should have gotten a Magneride PP1 or PP2 car. Just changing the sway bars is the least of your concerns.

You should be starting with wheels & tires first, shocks & struts, maybe springs, and IRS/cradle mods. Sways are a topping.

Here's the thread MAGS1 is referring to. I just installed these parts last weekend and went for a drive through the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains. Front end is definitely more solid and predictable. Offers the driver more confidence when transitioning into a corner and also over mid-corner bumps.

Swaybars will be fun. You'll really want springs and shocks however. The base springs are too soft and can't really keep the car from squatting onto the bump stops, which is a small limitation.

But yes, tires first. Then suspension parts.

Mishimoto is the only manufacturer that has data showing how effective their strut tower brace is (that I can find). No brace = 0.4 mm tower displacement under hard cornering. The Mishimoto brace reduces that to 0.2 mm, a great improvement although a small displacement either way.

I give Mishimoto a lot of credit for actually testing their part and putting the data out there!

I'm wondering if they tested the reduction in strut tower deflection once the cowl extension and cowl brace are installed as well. Those parts stiffen the towers in the longitudinal direction as well as the transverse. Both tower-to-tower as well as each tower to the cowl.

I can feel a significant improvement now that I've done the full package (my car had none of them as a 300A model). I was a skeptic as to whether the extra ~20 lb over the front wheels was worth it. It is.

Agreed 100%. Jumping out of my ‘17 Camaro 2SS into our ‘22 Mustang GT Premium when we bought it new 6 months ago, I was floored at how soft the Mustang suspension was. Putting some rotary forged 19” wheels with great tires helped but the biggest improvement came from the Vogtland 1” drop springs. Handles like a completely different car now…I did the springs to help close the fender gap so this caught me by surprise. And the ride is still reasonably compliant…didn’t want to piss off the wife since it’s her car lol…

Just added the Ford Performance strut bar and cowl extension piece. Heavy suckers, was really surprised by the weight. I had to remove the wipers, used the Lisle tool on amazon, solid tool. Easy install, just be careful when you're positioning the strut brace as you don't want to strip the studs. And hope you have a flexible ratcheting combo wrench, even with the wipers off i dont know how some people were able to even get a socket wrench under there.

Steering feels a bit tighter and immediate and the car a bit less jiggly on bad pavement.

Have the Ford Performance Track Handling pack on order, can't wait. These cars feel like marshmallows glued to twinkies in stock form.

I bought a '21 base 6sp GT, could have got a PP but the more you read around here the PP guys are swapping everything out anyway. Do your chassis bracing first, 3 piece strut tower system up top and steeda gtrack brace underneath. It's amazing what that does to improve steering, suspension response and turn in. In the rear install the steeda stop the hop kit, really takes the squishy feeling out of the rear on acceleration and turn in. Then I got some used GT350 rims and tires, slapped them on and it was like driving a 4K pound go cart. Dont worry about sway bars, struts, and springs yet. Do the chassis bracing and sticky 305's all the way around. After that you may want to drop it down with some performance springs. I track my car a few times a year at SCCA track nights, I can keep up (and sometimes pass) the GT350's and camaro 1LE's no problem.
