Tanabe 17-21 Honda Type-R Sustec Tower Bar Plus, Front

This product is the Tanabe Sustec Tower Bar Plus, designed for the front of your 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R. It's a well-built strut tower brace that connects the two front strut towers, helping to stiffen up the chassis. When you're pushing your Type R through corners, the body of the car can flex a bit, and this bar works to reduce that flex. By tying the towers together, it helps maintain the suspension geometry under load, which can lead to more predictable handling and a more connected feel to the road.

Tanabe uses solid steel construction for this bar, ensuring it can handle the stresses of spirited driving. The design is a direct bolt-on application, meaning it's made to fit right onto the factory strut tower mounting points without needing any modifications. This makes installation straightforward for most DIYers. The added rigidity it brings to the front end can make a noticeable difference in how the car responds to steering inputs, especially during aggressive cornering or quick transitions.

This strut tower bar is a popular choice for Type R owners looking to enhance their car's performance handling characteristics. It's a simple yet effective way to improve the car's overall chassis stiffness.
