An upper-front stress bar is an essential bolt on for all street & competition Ford Focus cars. The bar's rigid design helps to reduce the roll and twist of the front sheet metal frame, and in doing so quickens steering response and improves turn-in. Construction consists of strong 14-gauge mandrel bent heavy wall 7/8" diameter steel tubing. The tubing is then welded to 1/8" laser cut steel mounting plates. Designed specifically around the constraints of US model cars, the bar requires no modification of surrounding components (ie: Brake booster, fuse box, air box) when used in conjunction with the FSWERKS Cool-Flo or the stock factory air box. Fits all SPI, Zetec, and SVT. The FSWERKS upper-front stress bar is available in your choice of Chrome/Clear Powdercoated Finish or colored powdercoated finish.

Torque all 4 mounting nuts to 18ft lbs

Happiness in a strut brace.

Got my order from FSWerks on time. The items were actually packed liked the person shipping it cared. The feel, fit and finish of the brace itself is nice. Needs to hold up to salt and snow. Worth refinishing when the time comes. It installed without much of a fuss. The only negative thus far is that I can hear all the other suspension stuff that needs to be replaced :D

Awesome product

Fit right in no problem. The bar was instantly noticeable while driving. Tightened my steering and noticed a reduction in bodyroll while cornering. Even if you're just a casual daily driver I recommend this strut bar. Very pleased.

Easy Install. Feels More Nimble.

I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes on the road, but car is a bit quicker on track. And it is well priced and easy to install.

Great Quality!

Fits good, looks great! Required a little bit of prying to get all the holes lined up, but too be expected on a car that’s not exactly spring fresh anymore. :-)

Front Stress Bar for a 2002 SVT Focus

Excellent. Raj in sales knew what he was talking about. As a road racer of several decades, the FSWORKS front stress bar works. The bar enhances handling, especially over rough and uneven services. This is the only stress bar I was able to find from a major aftermarket supplier that actually fits an untouched engine bay without any modifications. Very simple/quick installation.

Front Strut Stress Bar

I have a 2003 Focus SVT which still goes well. I guess over the years metal fatigue can slowly set in because when I fitted the stress bar it felt like the steering was rejuvenated. I was surprised how noticeable the improvement was.

Great strut tower brace!

Very Good. This brace fit perfectly. I had purchased one recently for Steeda that did not fit my car. I had to pay for return shipping!!! Anyway, the FSWerks bar was a perfect fit. I highly recommend.
