    Strut bar

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm little confused on why there isn't so much strut bars available for Audi S4? I think it drives very well, but is it because of the supercharger that they don't offer it or what is it?

    Most "strut bars" on the market simply tie one or two bolts on the shock tower to the other side. While it may look cool, they certainly are not truly connecting the shock towers.

    The 034Motorsport Front Strut Brace is made from a piece of solid billet aluminum and truly ties the front strut towers. Our Strut Brace wraps around the entire shock tower and requires you to add additional holes through your shock tower for additional strength and support.

    This brace fits with all aftermarket throttle body options currently on the market (APR Ultracharger, 034 SüperDüper, etc) and is a great modification if you're looking for a true strut brace.

    It also fits with a 4.0t swap!

    lol not only that but $436, front alignment, and drilling holes into the chassis? No thanks...

    I've heard good things about the CR15. Considering its price ($120) and install time (15 minutes), it might be the best bang for your buck. I'm also curious if anyone is running BOTH CR15 and the ECS strut bar? Looks like they can be installed simultaneously.

    CR-15 does next to nothing. 034 is right in that they’re actually offering a true strut tower brace. These two products aren’t even close to being in the same league. Spoken as a CR-15 owner.
