2013-2021 Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S/Toyota 86 Front Strut Bar

Youve probably read somewhere on the internet that a strut tower brace never does anything but look pretty. Youre about to read otherwise. Armed with a strong background in vehicle dynamics and chassis design, weve spent months understanding the BRZ/FRS/86 chassis, testing different designs, collecting data, and measuring performance. With the help of the FT86Club community, weve developed a strut tower brace that works.

Our design requirements for this project were simple. The GrimmSpeed Strut Tower Brace must provide additional stiffness between the strut towers, enhancing stability and sharpening steering response. We began with testing both on the street and by statically flexing the chassis in the shop. Tweaking the chassis manually and using our FARO Arm to plot critical points in CAD, we were able to identify the weak points in the system. What we found was interesting. The OEM triangulation bars function very well. So, while the allure of a beautiful 3-point brace was tempting, the data spoke loud and clear: a simple 2-point brace was the right solution. With that, we set out to create a clean, simple, and cost effective solution.

Using 3D scanned data from multiple vehicles, we were able to quantify the manufacturing tolerances and design our brace accordingly. What that means for you are a perfect fit and easy installation. 3D-printed prototypes helped speed the development cycle and allowed us to test several different bracket designs for fitment and aesthetics.
