About this strut brace
The Whiteline KSB551 front strut brace is designed to balance comfort with performance while minimising noise and vibrations, the perfect, complete upgrade. Chassis bracing maintains alignment angles and spring rates by greatly reducing body or chassis flex. You can feel the difference through improved turn-in, sharper steering response and greater steering feedback.
You can never have too much chassis stiffness. Weight aside, the more the better. Chassis bracing maintains alignment angles and spring rates by greatly reducing body or chassis flex. In fact, it helps every component in the suspension system do its job properly and you can feel the difference through improved turn-in, sharper steering response along with greater steering feedback.
Note - Rear mount - behind the intercooler
