【AS】Engine Bay Carbon Fibre Strut Brace

A dry carbon engine bay strut bar. Stiffens the front end and puts a proper carbon weave on show.

The strut bar braces the engine bay both lengthways and across. Paired with a strut tower brace it stiffens the shell from more than one angle, so the chassis behaves more consistently and predictably when you are driving hard.

This bar is made by the dry carbon process: cured in an autoclave under heat and vacuum for the highest fibre density and the lowest resin content. It is stronger and stiffer than a wet-lay part, and lighter at the same strength.

▌ Specification
- Construction: dry carbon, autoclave cured under vacuum
- Weight: 400 g
- Finish: clear, even carbon weave
- Fitting: bolts on, no fabrication

▌ Why it is worth it
- Higher fibre density than wet-lay carbon, so it is stronger for its weight
- The standard car has no brace here; adding one makes the front end more consistent under hard driving
- Best results paired with the AutoScience Studio strut tower brace

Fitment: Ford Focus 2.3 ST. Fitting available at our workshop.
