If it makes you feel any better, the carbon fiber STi brace sells for about $530.

Except that Mustangs need subframe connectors, while (unless your running 400+ lbs springs, or are putting one in the rear of a WRX wagon) STB's are pretty much just eye-candy.

Except if they're bolt-in instead of weld-in... and carbon fiber instead of steel... and made by Steeda.
