How heavy are they? I'm yet to buy suspension/sub frame parts (car not here yet) and the Steeda hardware looks the goods based on a couple of you tube instal videos.Steeda IRS support braces turned up today, hoping to fit them up next week
Its all about the look only. Thats the entire point about it. I don't really care about being asked what its for because my response is its aesthetics so get over it...:lol:Would make more sense if the scoops (and those bonnet stuff available, were actually functional,.. they are just bug catchers that can't be cleaned.
But from an aesthetic perspective, it looks good. But what do you tell someone when they say, Where does it vent the air to? "Nowhere its just creates more drag and ppl better stay out of my blind spot
Let us know the feedback once you install them!Steeda IRS support braces turned up today, hoping to fit them up next week
Many thanks. I saw an instal video on the CJPP site where a customer car came in for sway bars, braces and other steeda goodies and the post mod video when they took the pony for a gallop was pretty cool.Both braces and fittings are about 6kg.
I have quite a few Steeda suspension and IRS components, certainly is good quality and works well. They have a pretty good reputation in the States, will probably stick with the Steeda theme throughout my car
.BK - I have them on mine and I really do think they help stiffen up the rear endBoth braces and fittings are about 6kg.

Yes i have and I have a spare pen if you want it.
hahaha cool. What brand is it?Yes i have and I have a spare pen if you want it.
Fabricmate - I bought 2 from the states. I tried a small section worked really well. There was a thread on it with pics on the USA site hard to find now. Anyways I ended up changing the whole interior so I didnt really use them But it does work the pic on the What did I do today thread were impressive. You could have the 2 I bought for the same price. Have to look it up but quite cheap.
Sticking with the Steeda parts is a great idea ... when you start mix matching other brands, they sometimes don't play well together.Both braces and fittings are about 6kg.

I hope you don't mind me quoting you Allan, I agree with you completely. On my race red gt I have quarter window scoops and quarter panel scoops installed and love them. I had umed and arrred about the window with regards to visability but have decided to keep them on as I like them. Sure enough it can cut visibility down and its certainly something to get used to over time (I drive 789 haul trucks, D11 dozers etc so I know all about viability) but you do get used to them and in a little amount of time. And the quarter scoops well I think they suit the car simply breaking up the lines on the quarter. Some people like them and others don't but that once again is a personal thing and as said beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and at the end of the day it all holds on with 3m tape so if you decide later down the track that hey its not that good a look, the parts can always be taken off.Its all about the look only. Thats the entire point about it. I don't really care about being asked what its for because my response is its aesthetics so get over it...:lol:
The side scoops make the recessed Chanel along the side look more pronounced. Especially with black because those body lines hide more so than lighter colours.
The Roush window scoops are designed spot on. They are thin and sit perfectly within the clear glass area leaving the B pillar glass area as a dark blacked out glass that transitions to the dummy intake of the scoop. Additionally it overcomes another problem that I am seeing all the time where the quarter panel glass is darker tinted than the door window glass that has legal limitations. And it looks out of balance to me. With the scoops in place it has logocal reference to the body and looks more balanced.
But the best thing is with only a minority having them you don't end up with driving what everyone else has and it gives a bit more individulaity to it. Thats why I am also going with the OEM fastback spoiler, I think due to price hardly anyone has them so again it takes you away from the everyone has one syndrome.
As far as blind spot goes, yes absolutely, but having driven panel vans and trucks you learn how to deal with blind spot black-outs very well.
I am not going to say you are all wrong, I myself was originally dismissing of their applicability, but seeing them in real life on a black fastback changed my mind and then considering the aspect of moving away from the everyone has the same is a nice touch. :cheers:
PS. Thats what I like about this forum, we can throw things out there and put it through the paces. It allows people to consider many points of view with healthy debate

At a stage I was also considering going down the bonnet scoop but I just love the extremely nice view that the bonnet lines already provide, once again that's a person view and each to their own.
If we all drove around in the same looking cars with exactly same options then the Mustang would soon be just a well "its another mustang" not a "hey check that out" personalized vehicle as so many in here are already doing. And trust me the stares, looks, moth open wide, grins etc I get every day when driving the stang in town or open road completely has me thinking that what mods I have already applied to the car works. All I can say is at the end of the day its your car, do as you wish as you are paying for it.
If Others don't like the mod well they don't have to put it on their own car.
Oh and next mods thinking about lowering, Ferrada fr1 silver/chrome, ferrada fr3 silver/chrome or ferrada fr4's silver/chrome (still deciding) and the xforce headers and cats to go with the cat back already on the car. Oh and a black leather with red stitching console kit I have found ;)
