Carbing | Okuyama Precision Chassis Bracing
Eliminate chassis flex and sharpen your vehicle's handling response. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for Carbing, the motorsport-focused division of Okuyama Japan. Renowned for their uncompromising approach to structural rigidity, Carbing components are engineered to provide a solid foundation for high-performance suspension systems. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for their entire chassis-tuning catalogue.
The One-Piece Advantage & Product Range
Carbing sets itself apart from "aesthetic-only" brands by refusing to use bolts or pivots in their strut tower bars. Their flagship aluminium and steel braces feature a **fully welded, one-piece construction**, ensuring that energy is transferred directly across the chassis without any loss in mechanical movement. This result is a significant improvement in steering precision, mid-corner stability, and overall feedback through the driver's touchpoints.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the primary Carbing / Okuyama range:
• Strut Tower Bars: Available in Type I through Type R, many featuring integrated **Master Cylinder Stoppers** to eliminate firewall flex and improve brake pedal feel.
• Under-Panel Bracing: Comprehensive subframe and floor reinforcement kits designed to stabilise the chassis under heavy cornering loads.
• Radiator Cooling Panels: Precision-cut aluminium panels that duct airflow directly through the radiator core for superior thermal management.
• Flip-Up Tow Hooks: FIA-compliant, high-strength steel tow hooks that offer both functional recovery points and a distinct JDM aesthetic.
• Aluminium Footrests & Pedals: Precision-manufactured interior components for improved driver ergonomics and control.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we understand the technical requirements of local JDM builds—from the **Nissan Silvia (S15)** and **Skyline (R32-R34)** to modern platforms like the **Toyota GR Yaris** and **86/BRZ**. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your authentic Japanese hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
Carbing FAQ
Why are Carbing strut bars one-piece?
Traditional strut bars often use bolts or pivot points at the towers for "easier" installation. However, these joints can allow for micro-movements under extreme load. Carbing uses a fully welded, one-piece design to ensure the highest possible level of rigidity, providing the most direct link between the strut towers.
What is a Master Cylinder Stopper (MCS)?
Many Carbing front strut bars include an integrated Master Cylinder Stopper. This brace applies pressure to the end of the brake master cylinder, preventing it from flexing against the firewall when you apply heavy brake pressure. The result is a much firmer and more consistent brake pedal feel, especially during track use.
How quickly can you source Carbing parts?
We utilise a direct-access supply chain to ensure the fastest possible turnaround for authentic Japanese parts. Most Carbing / Okuyama braces and accessories are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery across Australia.
