Fast Fab Super Beetle Strut Brace


 
Additional Photos
If you have a Super Beetle and want it to handle, YOU NEED THIS!

This product is a simple installation that simply that ties the front strut towers together (it triangulates them), giving your Super Beetle a tighter, more rigid front suspension by dramatically reducing chassis deflection. You will IMMEDIATELY notice quicker steering response, improved stability and more consistent alignment. Made in USA!

This strut tower brace is a new product for strengthening the Super Beetle's weak front end structure. Plasma cut steel side plates are fixture drilled for perfect fit.

The crossmember is 6061-T6 heavy wall aluminum for maximum strength. Spacer washers and all hardware are supplied to fit the bar to your chassis perfectly. We recommend that this bar be installed with our urethane lower control arm bushings for best results.

If your car is suffering from the "Super Beetle Shimmy", make sure that the suspension is repaired properly BEFORE installing this item. We DO NOT make any claims that this device will stop your shimmies on its own merit. However, it will add a feeling of stability and quietness over rough roads and turns that you can feel!

5 of 5 Fast Fab Super Beetle Strut Brace June 8, 2013
Reviewer: Paul Pavlou from Maroubra, NSW Australia  
Wow! It’s easy and quick to install. One of the cheapest and best suspension upgrades for a 1600L Beetle for what is little money. Makes steering sharper, reduces flex in the front end and the difference is subtle but dramatic in ride improvement.
Strongly recommended if you have a stiff front end and gas shocks on the rear as I do.
