The Radium Engineering adjustable strut tower brace was designed to secure the front strut towers together laterally and increase chassis stiffness. For optimal rigidity, this kit uses a straight 1" OD round bar manufactured from lightweight 6061 aluminum. After machining it is anodized for a long lasting attractive finish. The bar does not need to be removed to adjust preload. Simply loosen the aluminum jam nuts and rotate the bar. Machined from 6061 aluminum, the mounts tie the chassis, rod ends, and gussets together. There is no welding involved on these parts, which can soften the aluminum and compromise strength. Some strut bar kits on the market use a straight bar which is ideal for rigidity. However, they do not allow the necessary head room required for aftermarket performance upgrades. As shown below, the Radium raised the bar as high as possible to provides ample room (~1.5" above the intake manifold). *Features* * Gusseted end plates that take advantage of all 6 strut bolts * Straight machined aluminum bar for added rigidity * Preload tensioning adjustability * Solid anodized aluminum rod ends and jam nuts * Complete weldless design * Works with OEM diagonal braces * Reduces strut tower flex which can lead to undesireble camber changes * Improves steering response and handling * Quick and easy installation
