I just installed the hood strut kit and strut tower bar from Steeda for my '17 Fusion Sport. Total install time was less than 20 mins. I had a hood strut kit in my Mazda 6 and liked not having to use the hood prop rod.

All the components were well made and the paint on all the components look like they'll stand up to New England winters well. I highly recommend both to anyone interested.

Guessing they were bought straight through Steeda. There are several other posts with links directly to what is needed.

Installed mine today. Getting the hood aligned was a little tricky though.

Did mine a few weeks back and had the same problem with hood alignment,
but all is well now...

How does the STB feel? I'm considering this since its a cheap easy mod to install.

Very subtle indeed. Maybe comparable to a drop in panel air filter or cold air intake. Kinda like, "I'm not sure if anything is different, but I'm going to tell myself there is!"

I would have to disagree with Ike. I was taking corners pretty hard, and I could feel the front wheels almost feel like they were pulling away from each other. Once I added the brace, I don't get that feeling anymore. Does it turn your car into a cornering master? No. But if you take corners hard, before and after, you will notice the difference.
