• Evenly distributes suspension loads across the chassis by connecting the front strut towers.
• Improves steering feedback, allowing the driver to feel more connected to the road.
• Constructed from a 1/2" solid billet aluminum bar featuring CNC milled design elements to minimize weight while maintaining exceptional strength.
• Heavy-duty, 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 precise fitment and optimal performance.
• Compatible with multiple trims and engine variants of Subaru BRZ (1st and 2nd generation), Toyota 86, Scion FR-S, and Toyota GR86.
• Lightweight design weighing approximately 5 lbs, ensuring minimal impact on overall vehicle weight.

Construction & Design:

The core of the HPS Front Strut Bar is crafted from a solid 1/2" billet aluminum bar, CNC machined to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. This precision manufacturing process ensures a high-quality, durable component that withstands the stresses of performance driving. The mounting brackets are fabricated from 10-gauge thick steel and finished with a black powder coat to resist corrosion and provide long-lasting durability.

Vehicle-specific engineering guarantees a perfect fit for each model, allowing for straightforward installation without modifications. The combination of aluminum and steel materials balances strength and weight, enhancing chassis rigidity while keeping the front end light and responsive.
