Description:
Why do I need a strut tower brace?
With Subaru's MacPherson strut design; the vehicles entire vertical suspension load is transmitted to the top of the vehicle's strut tower. For this reason there is inherent flex within the strut towers relative to the vehicle body.
If left un-braced your car will suffer from “dynamic-alignment changes”. During performance driving there is enough flex to alter what should be static camber, toe and caster settings. This change can make steering response and body roll more pronounced and unpredictable.
Performance
The PERRIN Performance strut tower brace solves the problem. During cornering the PERRIN strut brace transfers the load of each strut tower via tension and compression of the strut bar, to the opposing strut tower, reducing flex by sharing the load and tying the strut towers together.
The improved chassis rigidity enhances steering precision under high load conditions and reduces under steer. Tire wear and metal fatigue in the strut tower area can be reduced.
Utilizing heat-treated cast aluminum feet and mandrel bent, thin wall4130 Cro-moly tubing the PERRIN bar is strong while remaining lightweight.
Aesthetics
A red crinkle powder coating accents the bar while aluminum logo plates compliment the feet. The PERRIN bar is a great Subaru specific accent for your engine bay.
Features:
Heat-treated cast aluminum feet
Mandrel bent, thin wall 4130 Cro-moly tubing
Red or black crinkle powder coating

Okay, word association time -- what comes to mind when you think of the word "Oregon?" Maybe trees, or the people who hug them? Possibly, but if you're a speed freak like us, you probably think more along the lines of "Rally America" and "Perrin Performance." Perrin, a part of the Alta Performance Group, began manufacturing specialized aftermarket parts more than a decade ago. They cater especially to high-power sport compact cars, including Subarus, Evos, and more. Perrin has the heavy-hitters of Japanese all-wheel drive performance covered with parts that are built in the U.S., and just as importantly, built to last. With the full line of Perrin Performance products available, Andy's Auto Sport is here to help turn your car into a beast!

Q: Are strut bars available for the front and rear of each vehicle?
A: Strut bars are offered for the front and rear tower braces on vehicles, since your car has struts inside each tire. Buying front and rear strut tower bars will dramatically improve your suspension.
Q: How do you install a strut bar?
A: Strut bars take mere minutes to install with normal hand tools. First remove your factory strut tower bolts and brace, and then simply re-install them with the new strut bar.
Q: What is a strut bar? Why buy a strut bar?
A: Strut bars (also referred to as strut braces or strut tower braces) are used to reduce the amount of flex in the factory strut towers. Under hard cornering loads, the strut assembly is pulled laterally at the strut top. A strut bar ties together the strut towers and, braces them against flex and movement. So in other words, if you want to be able to accelerate through some turns instead of being forced to brake, a strut bar can help you do that since strut bars help reduce body roll during turns.
