The 4 Point K-Member Brace really makes the whole front end of the car feel really solid. then with Engine Torque Limiters (the bars that go to the transmission) make shift into 3rd much easier. I love this mod. anyone wish a manual s197 should to this K-Member Brace with Engine Torque Limiters but auto should do just the K-Member Brace. The Jba long tube and only be appreciate from below on this car, you don't say any of it form the top :sad:. well I hope you enjoy them as much as i do.

How much ground clearance did you lose with the JBA's and how easy were they to install? It doesn't look like they are too much lower than the sub-frame rail in the pictures but I didn't know if the angle of the shot was decieving.

Any worries about the torque limiters breaking the mounting tab off the bell housing as I've seen a few pictures of that on other Mustangs? I liked the idea but those broken bell house tabs made me second guess myself. I figued I could just about get the same result with motor mounts (which I still have not done) instead combined with the Steeda G-Trak brace I had purchased and installed before the CHE brace was available.

Anyway...:023:. Thanks for the pics!

I did not do the install myself so I don't know. they are the same height as the sub-frame rail so my car will bottom out before the headers. I have seen that pic too but everything I've read said that a one time occurrence.

Good to know. Thanks!
