Relentless Autosports - Triangulated Front Strut Tower Brace (ver.2) REVIEW



Relentless Autosports - Triangulated Front Strut Tower Brace (ver.2) which I just installed is the main and only component (that you can FEEL) improving the handling of my 350GT on the street & track (did a few runs at Willow Springs). This Strut Tower Brace was a night & day difference right after install, that provided me maximum support to the strut towers and REALLY tied all my other suspension upgrades together! Unlike my previous 2 other strut tower braces that I have gone thru (which I won’t name) gave me no immediate feedback or difference what so ever besides decorating the engine bay, thanks to the poor design. Once installing this premium strut tower brace I IMMEDIATELY felt the difference in turning/handling at any speed and more so when pushing her hard in slalom or 360 degree off ramps. Even after spending over a two grand on every avail part from Whiteline (Polyurethane Bushings & Sway Bars to link assemblies)I REALLY didn’t notice the change in handling. Tighter ride yes. Less body roll yes. But I was missing an essential part to bring them all together and make my coils now a premium and work properly in conjunction with this Relentless Autosports – Triangulated Front Strut Tower Brace. Confident control was achieved with every change in surface camber and grip level; awesome job limiting relative motion by sharpening the feel and response of the front suspension, my driving experience is improved as I activated more grip with this premium modification. The car’s handling is near-perfect in terms of its balance and its measured, obedient responsiveness. This RA - TFSTB Ver.2 is fabricated from Type 4130 Chromoly - the design uses factory mounting points which includes 2 brackets and cross bar with PERFECT FITMENT!

Why not mention them? It will help people avoid the ones that don't work. I had an NRG bar that snapped and I'll drop dimes in an instant

Nice reveiw. It looks like one of the bars attaches to the strut tower, but where does the other bar bolt up to? Any drilling or mods necessary to install?

Also, I couldn't find any price info on their website. How much do they cost, if you don't mind me asking.

No drilling required, you replace one of the bolts for the upper control arm (with a longer bolt) that goes through into the engine bay. That's the lower point of connection that you can't see that well above. The top of the brackets mount over the shock/coil bolts like a normal bar would.

Pricing?

Did anyone ever post a price for this device? The site does not show pricing or even how to order the part or even if is is still available here in 2020.

Thanks
