Carbing Front Strut Tower Bar (Type I) Honda Civic Type R (FL5)

Carbing Front Strut Tower Bar (Type I) – Honda Civic / Type R (FL1/FL5)

The Carbing Front Strut Tower Bar (Type I) is a premium chassis reinforcement component engineered by Okuyama Japan specifically for the Honda Civic Type R (FL5) and Civic (FL1). The front section of the chassis not only manages the substantial loads from the suspension via the strut brackets but also supports the weight of the engine. This combination often leads to body flex and torsion during spirited driving.

By connecting both sides of the strut upper brackets, the Carbing tower bar significantly strengthens the front end of the vehicle. This increased rigidity ensures the suspension maintains its designed geometry under heavy cornering forces, resulting in vastly improved handling, steering precision, and high-speed stability. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, this bar provides maximum structural reinforcement while keeping additional weight to an absolute minimum.

Key Features

• Maximum Chassis Rigidity: Effectively eliminates front-end torsion and body flex, allowing the suspension to perform exactly as intended.
• Lightweight Aluminium Construction: High-strength aluminium design ensures superior rigidity without compromising the vehicle's weight balance.
• Enhanced Handling & Stability: Provides sharper turn-in and more predictable feedback during high-load cornering and aggressive manoeuvres.
• Direct Bolt-On Application: Precision-engineered for a straightforward installation using existing factory mounting points.
• Premium Japanese Engineering: Designed and manufactured by Okuyama to the highest motorsport standards for the export market.
• Professional Aesthetic: Adds a high-performance, functional look to the engine bay while reducing structural fatigue over time.
