When it comes to choosing a strut tower bar, there are a lot of options available, however most of these options are more “cosmetic” and not designed to be functional. Most of these cosmetic type strut tower bars are designed with hinges and/or bolted joints so that they can fit multiple applications. The issue there is that these hinges and joints can easily move or flex when stress is applied so they do nothing to help stabilize the strut towers. For the serious weekend Auto-crossers and track day enthusiasts, AEM has developed the 29-0009 strut tower bar, which fits 2013-2015 Scion FR-S 2.0 liter and 2013 Subaru BRZ 2.0 liter models. This strut tower bar stands out from the rest and is not a mere decoration that is being called a strut tower bar but a fully functional suspension component.

In addition, this strut tower bar is designed to last as it is covered by AEM's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The AEM FR-S/BR-Z strut tower bar features large diameter thin wall tube for an excellent strength to weight ratio. Moreover, all AEM strut tower bars are designed and engineered with a completely welded structure that is custom fit for each application. By designing each strut tower bar to be application specific, focus can be placed on designing rigidity to the vehicle's strut tower configuration while the car is driven aggressively through turns on a race track and at racing events.

The installation of the strut tower bar is very easy and can be performed with a few hand tools. Simply remove the old strut braces and the 4 most inner bolts on the strut tower, setup the brake master cylinder brace, then place your new AEM 29-0009 FR-S/BR-Z strut tower bar in position, securing it with the 4 most inner bolts on the strut tower and making final adjustments to the brake master cylinder bracket. By utilizing the OEM mounting points, installation can be quick and easy.

During the engineering process, AEM’s engineers noticed that the brake master cylinder moved significantly when the brakes were applied during competition racing. So in addition to the solid design and custom fit, the 29-0009 strut tower bar also incorporates a brake master cylinder brace. The addition of this brace can help increase the brake pedal firmness and most importantly, make the braking performance much more predictable. In addition, this brace also eliminates the need to purchase a separate and costly billet brace.

In a world of purely cosmetic this strut tower bar is no poser; it works well and looks great.

The AEM 29-0009 Strut Tower Bar fits the following Scion FR-S and Subaru BRX models:
2015 SUBARU BRZ 2.0L
2015 SCION FR-S 2.0L
2014 SUBARU BRZ 2.0L
2014 SCION FR-S 2.0L
