Description

Strut tower bars are an excellent and common handling upgrade that work by bracing the strut towers together to reduce chassis flex during cornering. ECS Tuning has designed and tested this strut brace in house to increase chassis rigidity and improve handling during aggressive cornering in your MK7/MK7.5 GTI, Golf R or MK7 Jetta. Our strut bar is made from heavy duty 4130 steel and bolts to our 6061 billet aluminum strut bar brackets for a rigid chassis connection. The complete strut bar packages underneath the windshield cowl without any permanent modifications to your OEM parts and is compatible with OEM struts or aftermarket coilovers that use factory strut mount hardware.

PART DESIGN

In-house designed and engineered in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility, using FARO ARM laser scanning technology for precise fitment
Stress bar is made from 4130 steel with Tig-welded end brackets and finished in a durable satin black powdercoat
Strut top mounting brackets are made from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and finished in a durable black anodized coating
No drilling or cutting required for installation
Class 10.9 zinc plated fasteners are included for replacement strut mount hardware

KIT CONTENTS

4130 Steel Stress Bar
6061 Billet Aluminum Strut Bar Brackets w/ hardware
Replacement Class 10.9 strut mount fasteners

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

Our Front Strut Tower Bar is a precision engineered structural component that ensures power is transferred properly and not lost through chassis flex, without any increase in NVH. By providing a rigid component between the strut towers cornering load is distributed more competently to reduce chassis flex, preventing changes in wheel alignment geometry that can negatively impact handling.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Our ECS Front Strut Tower Bar was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.

INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT
