Mountune Strut Brace?

So I know that one exists for the Focus ST. Does this brace indeed fit the Fiesta ST?

I doubt it considering the fact that a quick look at Mountune's site doesn't show a strut brace for the Fiesta.

Overnight parts from Japan.

Edit: Looking at the application guide for the FoST bar does indeed include the FiST. Maybe its worth contacting them directly first to double-check? I think it's just an error caused by the fitment to the 1.6l Focus, but only they will be able to say for sure.

I would be careful.
I am sure there is an error with the fitment chart.
The description does say Focus and therefore it cannot fit a Fiesta as the cars are different widths.

Also the Fiesta is not even available in Japan and if it were it would be RHD.
And the bars are different between RHD and LHD.

USDM Fiesta ST specific strut tower bar from Mountune appears to now be available for those interested. Nice to have other options than the other junk out there.

I wonder if anyone has one installed and could report back on the feel

I have been waiting for this! Mountune will be getting more of my money!

This is great. And since I use the mishimoto OCC the hanger for the catch can is not in the way...

Will this do much for dd?

$215 for a hinged aluminum cross bar? Pretty spendy for a less-than-optimal design. Car jewelry, doe.

Honest question: What do you think would be a better design? Fully welded stainless steel?

A single-piece steel brace would be a much better option, which is why most OEM bars are designed that way, and welded steel closely follows. For the same strength that the aluminum bar would have, the steel would be smaller. And using aluminum to brace a steel structure seems...backwards...to me.

I'm waiting for the Mishimoto rear brace so I can do them both at once.
