Strut tower bars are an excellent and common handling upgrade that work by bracing the shock towers together to reduce chassis flex during cornering. ECS Tuning has designed and tested this carbon fiber strut brace in-house to increase chassis rigidity and improve handling during aggressive driving in your B8. ECS Tuning has engineered a lightweight and extremely rigid strut bar kit comprised of carbon fiber with steel end brackets that will not only enhance your driving experience but also provide an eye-catching addition to your engine bay.
ECS Tuning's Carbon Fiber Strut Tower Brace for your B8 A4/S4 is incredible! Not just a show piece, our front strut brace is a precision engineered structural component that ensures power is transferred properly and not lost through chassis flex, without any increase in NVH. Adding the strut tower brace allows cornering load to be distributed more competently between both strut towers to reduce chassis flex, preventing changes in wheel alignment geometry that can negatively impact handling.
Carbon fiber is an excellent addition on any vehicle, and offers a very unique look that is found on some of the most exotic vehicles on the road today. This strut bar kit features a clean woven design that is sure to look phenomenal for years to come, and will compliment absolutely any engine bay. This kit includes everything you need for installation.
