More stability with a strut brace / strut braces

The best types of power modifications are those that are simple and inexpensive. Of course, the easiest way is to invest a lot of money in the vehicle and get more horsepower out of the engine. Another and often more effective way is to try to improve handling and make better use of existing horsepower. There are many possibilities here: The replacement of the series springs by Lowering springs and the installation strong shock absorber, Here the handling improves at high speeds in the bends and the car has a good grip (traction). Another option is the installation of a strut brace / strut brace.

One of the best decisions you can make would be to install front and rear support braces (strut braces). What are support struts? Simply put, a simple metal bar is bolted to the top of two opposing struts for better stability. A strut brace is a retrofit accessory that is usually connected to the MacPherson strut on the chassis to guarantee additional stiffening between the struts. The McPherson strut suspension is standard on most modern automobiles, especially the economical or compact models. Since the suspension is directly connected to the body, a certain amount of bending is to be expected. Some components of the vehicle deform during aggressive cornering or when hitting a bump, some even say 10 to 15 millimeters. The deformation can lead to a loss of traction and change the steering geometry. The strut brace encloses the upper part of the McPherson strut suspension to prevent undesired deformation.

the use in everyday life

The reason why not every car has a strut bracket is because most vehicles are built economically. Not that much horsepower is required for normal road traffic. So what is a 58 hp Opel Corsa with a strut bar at the front and rear? For the few who would like to push their cars to the limit on a racetrack or drive spirited on the open road, a strut bridge is a simple modification that can bring about a noticeable improvement in driving behavior. High-performance and expensive strut braces are made of carbon fiber composites. This material is extremely hard and particularly light. Suspension strut braces / strut braces made of carbon currently deliver the best handling and perfect traction on the road - especially when cornering.
