CTS-HW-538 - CTS Turbo Billet Aluminum Front Strut Brace - Audi Q5 & SQ5 (B9/B9.5)

Improve the front-end precision of your SUV with the CTS Turbo strut brace (Part Number: CTS-HW-538). Specifically designed for the Audi B9/B9.5 platforms, this car tuning part is the essential upgrade for demanding drivers looking to reduce chassis flex and optimize handling during dynamic driving or motorsport.

Chassis Rigidity and Precision Engineering

Unlike standard stamped steel bars, the CTS Turbo Strut Brace is precision machined using CNC machining from a block of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum. This ultra-rigid, one-piece design firmly connects the front suspension towers, thus limiting dynamic camber during hard cornering. As specialists in performance parts, we selected this product for its exceptional weight-to-rigidity ratio and premium finish. In addition to its dynamic benefits, it adds an undeniable aesthetic touch to your engine bay thanks to its durable gloss black anodizing finish.
