Product Details
This page covers the Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace for the 1979-1985 Mazda RX-7 GS, S (SA/FB). It goes on the front of the vehicle. Part number KSB608. You receive 1 strut brace, 8 washers, and 8 nuts. The listing names the GS and S trims.
A strut tower brace ties the two upper strut mounts together with a rigid bar, so the tops of the front struts cannot flex independently when cornering loads push on the body. Holding them steadier helps keep alignment angles consistent and sharpens turn-in and steering feel.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about half an hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. To go with it on the RX-7, see Front Sway Bar Washer Kit, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and 15mm Sway Bar Bushing Kit.
Features
- Finish: A polished alloy finish adds to the look.
- Corrosion protection: Plated finish keeps rust off the hardware.
- Matched kit: Each part in the kit was picked to suit the vehicle.
- Chassis stiffness: Helps keep alignment angles and spring rates consistent by cutting down flex.
