Strut Brace

Adding performance shocks, stiffer springs and wide low-profile tires puts additional stress on the front strut towers. Our strut brace connects both towers reducing movement and flex under high cornering loads.

Ipd offers two strut braces to fit your bugdet and performance needs.
 

Stage 2
Our all aluminum construction strut brace (Part #1870) provides the most cost effective
way to help shore up the strut towers in your Volvo providing better turn in and better
steering wheel feedback to the driver.


 

Stage 3
Our turnbuckle brace is also all steel construction and powder coated for durability
(Part #72.0004 blue & Part #72.0005 black). Featuring counter threaded spherical rod ends to pretension the
strut brace and remove chassis flex.  This brace allows you to pretension the strut towers and remove any initial
chassis flex that can contribute to washy or splashy steering and cornering.  For the maximum in chassis rigidity
without sacrificing ride quality this type of brace has proven most popular with enthusiast drivers.

1870 Reviewed by cam from ky

i underestimated the installation of this product. i have a 98 t5 and over time i guess the shock towers spread apart. i had to drive up on a ramp on side at a time to get the bolt holes to line up to where i could get both sides on.( it seemed like 3 to 4 inches difference from brace to between the towers). but, it does fit.
the car feels more solid now. around short tight turns the car definitely stays more level, but on long sweeping curves you can tell that you are still at the mercy of the shocks and springs that you have on. i would definitely get sport springs to go along with this upgrade. but still worth it. I would like to try the rear sway bars too.
