New Pfadt Strut Tower Brace is available NOW!
 
Hey everyone, GREAT NEWS!

These are NOW AVAILABLE! and ready to ship!

As always, we pride ourselves on providing you with the best performing products that have extensive engineering analysis behind them. Building on our great Camaro product line up, we have yet another offering that exemplifies this, and is now available. The new Pfadt Strut Tower Brace. This strut brace is a "no compromises design" that straddles both front strut towers entirely and leaves absolutely no room for flex in any direction! We took this approach to give as many people as possible what we know is the best solution. The Pfadt Strut Tower Brace also allows future upgrades to the front suspension, like Adjustable Camber Plates and Coilovers and has been fully designed and engineered in CAD to provide a strong, efficient, easy to install, lightweight solution. It comes with the correct installation tool necessary for a tight install to the chassis. Please take a look below! PM for price, while we work on adding it to our website!

A couple of notes about this brace:

-4 point chassis brace to reduce strut tower deflection under hard cornering/braking
-Weighs 8 pounds
-Very easy install, no need to remove strut
-Two versions, one for stock NA engines (available NOW), and one for Magna Charger (production batch to come later)
-Designed and made in the USA!
-Available bare or powdercoated Satin Flecked Charcoal (+$25)

Whoah! Oh...do I ever like the sound of that! :thumb:

Any idea if it will also clear the engine covers modified around the Magnacharger?

Jason, I cant say we have experience with customers using a modified engine cover and SC. Is the engine cover you speak of moved up (vertical) in any way? If not, the SC version of this brace should have no interference problems.

Nope, same cover that comes from the factory, just modified in the middle to make room for the blower. :D

i know what your talking about. kinda how lingenfelter does and i think hennessey did it on their supercharger kit. the way the brace looks with the stock cover, it doesnt look like it will hit. doesnt the blower sit higher than the cover any ways?


will this brace also work ok with any other superchargers(vortech,procharger) as far as clearance? im just wondering about the intake part on the procharger since it comes out in the rear of the engine bay.

If this is the case then it would certainly clear the modified cover.:)

At the moment it does not appear as those superchargers will work with this strut brace. Which is unfortunate, but realistically, to properly brace the strut towers on both sides it is necessary to strengthen in this area. So we chose to not compromise the design intent. Hope that helps!

Yep, I didn't look close enough (I was on my iPhone at the time). Awesome!
