FSWERKS Upper Front Strut Stress Bar - Ford Focus SPI/Zetec/SVT
SKU: FS030
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.

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.
AustraliaThank you Nicholas :-)

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. :-)
This is easy to install and if you like the turns like me you will feel the difference. Steering is more responsive. Love it.
United StatesLooks awesome, Easy to install, Can't wait ti rip around the track
United StatesIt was a perfect fit. Installed and minutes and I couldn’t be happier with the performance upgrade!
United StatesThank you Michael :-)
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.
United StatesThanks very much for your feedback Ira :-) Regards, Raffi
Excellent .Thank you very much .
CanadaLooks good, helps with body roll.
United StatesAs advertised fit like a glove. Well made well coated
United StatesI 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.
United StatesGreat product, fitment is perfect, almost looks factory. Stiffens up the front end quite a bit
Canadait handles so much better give new life to my old girl
United StatesIt looks perfect in my engine bay and the handling has improved alittle
I took my 03 focus for a mountain drive. I can take turns 10 mph faster. Highly recommend
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.
It looks great! And it works as intended. I would make sure you have the right tools and a buddy as it will make the job easier
After a quick install on my 03 SVT, and a trip around a curvy road, instantly notice a lot of the body roll was elimated with the addition of this strut brace.
Very help full quick delivery good service
Easy Ordering Process, Fast Delivery, Quality Packaging. Can't wait to hear how my exhaust sounds!
