Strut tower bars are an excellent and common handling upgrade that?work by bracing the strut 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 MK7/MK7.5 GTI, Golf R or MK7 Jetta. Our strut bar is made from heavy duty 4130 steel and bolts to our 6061 billet aluminum strut bar brackets?for a rigid chassis connection. The complete strut bar packages underneath the windshield cowl without any permanent modifications to your OEM parts and is compatible with OEM struts or aftermarket coilovers that use factory?strut mount hardware.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES
Our Front Strut Tower Bar?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 rigid component between the strut towers?cornering load is distributed more competently?to reduce chassis flex, preventing changes in wheel alignment geometry that can negatively impact handling.?
