Strut tower bars are an excellent and common handling upgrade that work by bracing the shock 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 B8. Cut from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and finished in a black anodize, our Billet Aluminum Front Strut Brace will not only enhance your driving experience but also provide an eye-catching addition to your engine bay.
ECS Tuning's Billet Aluminum Front Strut Tower Brace for the B8 chassis is incredible! Not just a show piece, our front strut brace 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 more rigid component in place of the flimsy sheet metal factory strut brace the cornering load is distributed more competently between both strut towers to reduce chassis flex, preventing changes in wheel alignment geometry that can negatively impact handling.
This strut bar can be used by itself or in conjunction with our ECS Tuning Carbon Fiber Front Strut Tower Brace (es3195022) for the ultimate upgrade!

Other Availability Modes
We use several availability modes to most accurately identify when products will leave their home facility:
Direct Ship This product is available and will be sourced from one of our suppliers. It may take up to three business days before it ships.

We update our catalog daily to provide the most accurate fitment information possible. When shopping for parts, please use the “select your vehicle” car selector on the home page. Once you've selected your car, you can filter parts specific to it.
Additionally, on each product page, we have a tab for fitment information. By clicking on "Fitment", you can scroll and verify the part you are about to add to your cart indeed fits.
Furthermore, if you have a vehicle added to our vehicle selector and you are viewing a product page, you'll see fitment information below the "add to cart" button. If an item fits your car it will display "This Part Fits Your: Selected Vehicule". If an item does not fit your vehicle a message will display "This Part Does Not Fit".
A “Core Charge” is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda. In many states, to promote recycling, you are charged a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and you receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have Core Charges that work the same way as a soda can deposit. The most common car parts that include a core charge are alternators, calipers, steering racks, and fuel injectors.
"MAP" pricing, or Minimum Advertised Pricing, means that the vendor set a minimum retail price that we're not allowed to violate. MAP items cannot be discounted because the decrease in price would violate that threshold.
