034Motorsport's billet aluminium front strut brace adds the strut tower bracing that B8 and B8.5 Audi A4, S4, A5, S5 and Allroad models lack from the factory. The brand explains that the factory support bar behind the firewall is not significantly structural, so the strut towers can deflect laterally under hard cornering, which shows up as imprecise steering and a vague front end. The truss-design brace is machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminium with a clear anodised finish and bolts to both strut towers and to the firewall in two places to hold suspension geometry under load. It was tested on 034Motorsport's B8 and B8.5 S4 development cars, and it does not fit the S5 4.2, RS4, RS5, Q5 or SQ5.
