A strut tower brace adds additional reinforcement to the front strut towers, tying them together for extra rigidity. This makes the whole structure stronger with less chassis flex. Handling and steering feel are improved with better turn-in and input with no downsides. The Dinan strut tower brace is a very high quality aluminum brace with precision machined ends that match the contours of the strut tower. Other braces simply sit on top which reduces their effectiveness. This is definitely one of the stronger strut brace designs on the market. The center bar is polished aluminum with carbon fiber inlays - an unmistakable sign of precise engineering when you open the hood.

The Stage 1 Suspension System system consists of a set of performance tuned springs and carefully matched Koni adjustable front strut assemblies and rear shocks. The system provides superior handling through increased grip and reduction of body roll while maintaining a nicely dampened ride. The modestly lower ride height gives the car a tastefully enhanced performance look as well as improving suspension geometry.

Why a strut nut socket? To secure shocks and struts to their mounts, the retaining nut must be torqued to its proper specification using a torque wrench. Strut nut sockets allow for the use of a 21mm wrench to hold the damper shaft allowing you to achieve proper torque. An improper torque value may result in premature mount failure - or worse.
