Turner Motorsports Carbon Strut Brace

NCG80M3 · 01-26-2022, 12:23 PM

Just installed this brace and it looks great. One of the best looking braces I have seen. It is pricey but worth it if you want the bling.

Any idea if this is more/less/or as stiff as factory brace? I’ve always been told strut bars are an easy way to change chassis dynamics and don’t want to get something softer than factory.

Nm…found it on their website…they claim stiffer than factory. And yes…it is expensive. Lolol.

Looks awesome though.

Do those fasteners over the radiator frame come with it?

Just make sure it's tight, nothing to get too worried about.

I see you also changed your bolts to color anodized. Where did you purchase those?

Looks like downstar dress kit

yocubed · 01-29-2022, 07:59 AM

I concur that is probably the Downstar Engine dress up kit. Many different color collars you can choose

It is the Downstar dress up kit.

It's a great kit. Really adds some color pop to the engine bay. Quality is really nice too.

Really tempted but, that's a really high price for a strut bar. Same with the FallLine available from IND. The VTT one isn't as nice appearance wise, but also close to 50% less $. Not super familiar with strut braces, so my question is if there is enough of a difference between the two options to justify the cost? The VTT options are also split pieces that connect to form the V; is there a benefit to a solid piece?

I looked hard at the VTT brace before purchasing the Turner version. I have no first hand experience with VTT at all, but I read enough bad experiences from others that told me I didn't want to go down that road.

YMMV
