SMY Tallboy Front Strut Tower Brace (2022+ WRX)

Sharpen your front-end steering response without compromising your power mods. The VB WRX chassis responds beautifully to chassis stiffening, but adding a beefier aftermarket Top Mount Intercooler (TMIC) usually means sacrificing your strut bar due to tight engine bay clearance. Our High-Clearance Front Strut Bar is specifically engineered to solve this dilemma. Designed with an aggressive, elevated arch, it provides the structural rigidity you need while leaving plenty of breathing room for the largest intercoolers on the market.

Features:

• Max-Clearance Arch Design: Engineered specifically around oversized aftermarket cooling setups. This bar effortlessly clears massive, high-performance TMICs—like the ETS and Cobb—without rubbing the core, vibrating against the shroud, or interfering with under-hood ducting.
• Heavy-Duty Steel Mounts: While other bars use soft aluminum brackets that can flex under extreme loads, our bar features laser-cut, heavy-duty steel end plates. These rigid  foundations anchor directly to your strut towers, ensuring zero deflection when you're loading up the front tires in a hard corner.
• Upgraded Installation Hardware: Ditch the soft factory hardware. This kit includes upgraded, high-tensile, corrosion-resistant fasteners designed to handle increased torque specs and  withstand the harsh thermal cycles of a modified engine bay.
• Sharper Turn-In & Control: By tying the front strut towers together, this bar eliminates chassis twist during aggressive cornering. You'll experience more predictable steering geometry, sharper turn-in response, and a more planted feel through the steering wheel.
