SMY Tallboy Front Strut Tower Brace Wrinkle Black Subaru 2015-2021 WRX / STI

Eliminate front-end chassis flex and steering delay without playing the under-hood guessing game. The VA-platform chassis responds beautifully to structural stiffening, but adding large aftermarket Top Mount Intercoolers (TMICs) or bulkier Air-Oil Separators (AOS) often rules out standard front strut bars due to clearance issues. The SMY Performance "Tallboy" Strut Tower Brace is engineered explicitly to overcome this bottleneck. Boasting an extra-tall, high-clearance profile, it bridges your front suspension towers with absolute rigidity while leaving a massive window of breathing room for your performance engine bay upgrades.

Features:
- Massive 70mm "Tallboy" Clearance: Featuring an aggressive 2.76-inch (70mm) vertical rise from the mount base to the underside of the bar, this brace effortlessly clears all major aftermarket Air-Oil Separators (AOS) and oversized Top Mount Intercoolers (TMICs) without rubbing or vibrating.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Strut Mounts: Unlike cheap, all-aluminum alternatives that can pivot and flex under heavy loads, the SMY base mounts are laser-cut from high-strength structural steel. They form an unyielding anchor to your chassis, ensuring cornering forces are transferred properly through the brace.
- Solid Aluminum Wrinkle Black Crossbar: The main functional brace consists of a solid, ultra-rigid round aluminum bar. Finished in a durable, heat-resistant wrinkle black powder coat, it provides maximum resistance against lateral chassis twist while giving your engine bay a clean, stealthy aesthetic.
- Precision Adjustable Bar Ends: Chassis tolerances change over time and under hard driving. Equipped with heavy-duty adjustable ends, this bar allows for a perfectly tailored preload and seamless installation, guaranteeing a perfect drop-in fit regardless of minor vehicle variance.
- Immediate Steering & Handling Feedback: One of the most instantaneous performance upgrades available for the VA platform. By locking the front strut towers together, it neutralizes independent shock deflection, delivering sharper turn-in, highly predictable steering tracking, and a locked-in front end.
