New Release - FT-86 SpeedFactory - Strut Tower Bar / Tri-Bar
 
A little snap shot of something we worked up here.

These are in production. :)

This is two separate bars to make sure everything clears and does not rub on the AC line. :)

Powder Coated a nice non-flashy gunmetal color for a clean install in vehicle.

Custom color runs will be available. 5 minimum sets for custom colors. Thoughts?

Shots of it working with the stock bars as requested. Custom colors can be done as well, just a small fee for the powder will be added.

What differences do you notice in handling of the car?

CharlieChaos 09-29-2012 04:16 PM

just a thought for those purchasing the Crawford AOS or the Cusco Catch can will those fit with the design you have.

Looks nice. Probably would leave enough room on the driver side for the master cylinder brace @GrimmSpeed is R&Ding.

Mind sharing the materials and welding technique used in your braces? Colour options?

Second the question about handling differences vs OEM

JPxM0Dz 09-29-2012 05:37 PM

Looks awesome! Only drawback I can see us those looking to install oil catch can. Built in brake stop would be cool ;)

Crawford equipped AOS won't mount with this equipment, but it looks very nice.

I have only drove it on the street with it at this time.

Most catch cans like the Cusco unit are universal and can be mounted anywhere. The Crawford unit will not work however due to their designed mounting point.

Nice, but why is the strut brace welded and not bent? Just curious.

FT-86 SpeedFactory 10-01-2012 09:18 PM

We liked the welded look over a bend. Gives it more of a Motorsports appearance IMO.

This is made from heavy wall 1žin diamiter, .063 thick walls, 4130 chrome molly tube. Incredibly strong.

Any possibility of one that has BRZ on it or plain?

diirk 10-04-2012 05:05 PM

Looks good. Would have liked a MC Brace included or available. Price?

We can make them plain, without anything cut out.

We'll see what it will take to work up an MC option.
