tanabe SUSTEC Strut Tower Bar, Front (2015-2021 Subaru WRX & WRX STi)

The strut tower bar is arguably one of the least expensive upgrades that can provide a very high degree of benefit that is felt immediately after installing. Often one of the first modifications performed on a vehicle, the strut tower brace improves handling and stability of a vehicle.

The Sustec Tower Bar has been very popular due to its low price and high functionality. By connecting the strut tower and creating a balance, the shocks are prevented from independently moving and causing small changes in suspension geometry.

Reinforced Lipo, Extruded Centershaft
While simple in appearance, the design of the centershaft has a significant amount of engineering put into it. The constructino is reinforced extruded aluminum, which features dual reinforced lips on the underside, as well as tapered ends for additiona rigidity. The center shaft is very lightweight, so weight is not added to reinforce.

Ultra Durable Steel End Plates
The end plates are 100% steel for maximum strength and durability. Extremely budget tower bars commonly use aluminum end plates which are highly suspect to deformity and breaking.

Adjustable Preload
It is always recommended to raise the vehicle when installing so that the load of the shock uppermounts on the shock towers are relieved and balanced out. When raised and the lower bar is placed onto the vehicle, the preload can be adjusted and set. After it is bolted on and the car is lowered, each shock tower will have equal load and will prevent independent movements of each shock.
