The SUSTEC system presented by TANABE offers more than spring and damper upgrades. The addition of a TANABE strut tower bar adds stability while additional suspension and wheel/tire upgrades complete the total system. The strut tower bars are simple reinforcements that entry level users can install to greatly improve suspension stability. The lightweight, hollow aluminum bar is produced by extrusion for strength that resists distortion. The oval-shaped bar keeps its shape even on the hardest run, giving the driver a confident steering response. For ultimate handling and control, TANABE stabilizer bars (anti-roll bars) can also be added to upgrade the suspension. SUSTEC Stabilizers link both ends of the suspension to absorb body lean and controls rolls during hard cornering. It reduces rolls to a minimum of 30% without driver discomfort. Tower bars are an easy suspension upgrade but are also a popular engine dress-up item. Stabilizers are perfect for users who want to improve handling and reduce body roll without increasing spring rates. Both products add extra benefits to suspension tuning. Tanabe SUSTEC strut bars are competitively priced with applications for import sport cars, station wagons, and sport sedans. Reinforced Lip, Extruded Centershaft While simple in appearance, the design of the centershaft has a significant amount of engineering put into it. The construction is reinforced extruded aluminum, which features dual reinforced lips on the underside, as well as tapered ends for additional rigidity. The centershaft is very lightweight, so weight is not added to reinforce the chassis. Adjustable Preload A very common error when installing tower bars, It is always recommended to raise the vehicle when installing so that the load of the shock uppermounts on the shock towers is relieved and balanced out. When raised, and the tower bar is placed onto the vehicle, the preload can be adjusted and set. After it is bolted on and the car is lowered, each shock tower will have equal load and will prevent independent movements of each shock. This will provide an extremely noticeable difference after installing. If a tower bar is installed on a car that is not raised, great benefits will be missed. Ultra Durable Steel End Plates The end plates are 100% steel for maximum strength and durability. Commonly, extremely budget tower bars use aluminum end plates, which are highly subject to deformity and breaking. Our 100% steel end plates are engineered for durability, so that the stress properly transfers to the bar, and does not overstress the welds and mounting brackets
