Tighten up your VB’s rear end without sacrificing the daily-driver practicality you actually use. The SMY Premium Rear Strut Bar bridges the gap between track-ready chassis rigidity and trunk-space versatility with an innovative, flippable design. The VB chassis is a fantastic platform, but aggressive cornering still introduces unwanted rear flex. This strut bar ties your rear shock towers together, bracing the chassis against lateral forces to deliver sharper turn-in, more predictable rotation, and a locked-in driving feel.
Features:
- Innovative 2-Way Reversible Design: You shouldn't have to choose between performance and utility. This bar can be mounted two different ways depending on your needs:
- A) Arch Up: Flips upward to clear smaller items beneath the bar and gives off an aggressive, track-ready aesthetic when you pop the trunk.
- B) Lay Flat: Flips downward to sit flush against the trunk carpet, maximizing your vertical cargo space for suitcases, groceries, or gear.
- Ultra-Low Profile Mounts: Engineered specifically for the VB chassis, the end brackets hug the strut towers as tightly as possible. They cut cleanly through the trunk side carpets with minimal intrusion, keeping your trunk looking factory-neat.
- Premium Construction: Manufactured from high-tensile, lightweight material to ensure maximum rigidity without adding unnecessary weight to your tail end.
- 100% Bolt-On Installation: No drilling, welding, or permanent chassis modification required. Includes all necessary hardware for a straightforward install.
- Wrinkle Black Finish, available in Wrinkle Red as well
Includes:
- 1 x Rear Strut Bar Kit Wrinkle Black w/ Gloss Black Mounts
- 4 x Gloss Black M10 Nuts
- Lifetime Warranty
Notes:
- Caps of carpet will need slight triming to clear mounts, See images
- Torque Specs for Strut Nuts = 20nm / 14.75 ft/lbs.
