The GrimmSpeed Strut Tower Brace in red brings the same chassis stiffening benefits as the black version, plus a pop of color under the hood of your Subaru BRZ or Scion FR-S. By bridging the two front strut towers, GRM098009 substantially reduces deflection under cornering loads, which slalom testing measured as an 83 percent reduction versus the factory setup. Drivers feel a sharper, more direct connection to the road and reduced NVH after installation. Built from robotically welded mild steel and finished in a durable red DuPont textured powdercoat, GRM098009 pairs performance with a clean, finished look in the engine bay. The laser cut stainless steel GrimmSpeed logo can be polished for a unique two tone appearance.
