• Evenly distributes suspension loads across the chassis by linking the front strut towers.
• Improves steering feedback, giving the driver a more connected and precise feel.
• Constructed from a 1/2" solid billet aluminum bar featuring CNC milled design elements to minimize weight without sacrificing strength.
• Vehicle-specific 10-gauge thick steel mounting brackets with a durable black powder coat finish provide excellent rigidity and corrosion resistance.
• Engineered using 3D scanning and CAD software for perfect fitment and ease of installation.
• Compatible with factory suspension setups; however, it does not fit with KW V3/V4 Clubsport or ST XTA/XTA Plus 3 suspension kits.

Construction & Design:

The core of the strut bar is crafted from a half-inch thick billet aluminum bar, CNC machined to reduce unnecessary weight while maintaining structural integrity.
