That's your\n  chassis flexing, and it's holding your car back. The GK5 is a light, tossable little thing that loves to be\n  driven hard, but its front strut towers move around under cornering load, and when they do, your suspension\n  can't do its best work. This Tanabe Sustec front strut tower bar ties those towers together and firms all\n  that up, so your Fit turns in sharper, stays more planted, and feels connected instead of squishy when you\n  lean on it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy A Tower Bar Actually Helps\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Here's the idea, and Tanabe puts it well: if your chassis is bending, your suspension isn't being used to\n  its full potential. Think about it, your springs, dampers, and sway bars are all tuned to control the car,\n  but if the strut towers themselves are flexing apart under load, some of your suspension's effort is getting\n  wasted flexing metal instead of controlling the wheels. Bolting a solid bar across the top of the towers\n  stops that flex, so your suspension finally gets to do its full job. The payoff is turn-in that's crisper\n  and more immediate, handling that stays consistent lap after lap or corner after corner, and a front end\n  that feels tight and predictable when you're really driving it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Tanabe Difference\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Tanabe's been building chassis and suspension gear for Japanese cars for a long time, and their Sustec line\n  is the real deal. This bar is engineered specifically for the GK5's strut towers, so it fits right and\n  clamps down solid where it counts. It's a clean, purposeful piece that looks right in the bay and does\n  exactly what a good tower bar should, no more, no less.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat It Is, And What Pairs With It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Let's keep it honest: a tower bar is chassis reinforcement, not a full suspension redesign. It won't\n  transform the car on its own, but on a light chassis like the Fit, tightening up that front end makes a real,\n  noticeable difference in how the car feels when you push it. It's also the perfect complement to the rest of\n  your suspension setup, if you're running lowering springs or coilovers, like Tanabe's own DF210 springs or\n  Sustec Pro CR coilovers, this bar helps them work even better by keeping the chassis from flexing\n  underneath them.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTanabe Sustec front strut tower bar (TTB185F) for the Honda Fit GK5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTies the front strut towers together to reduce chassis flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSharper turn-in and more consistent, planted handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEngineered specifically for the GK5 chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePairs well with lowering springs and coilovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These Cars\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2015-2020 Honda Fit (GK5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Note: Tanabe Sustec front strut tower bar, part number TTB185F, for the 2015-2020 Honda Fit (GK5). It\n  connects the front strut towers to reduce chassis flex under cornering and braking loads, allowing the\n  springs, dampers, and stabilizers to perform closer to their full potential for sharper turn-in and more\n  consistent handling. This is chassis reinforcement and complements, rather than replaces, other suspension\n  components; it pairs well with lowering springs or coilovers such as Tanabe's DF210 springs and Sustec Pro\n  CR coilovers. One strut bar per order.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n 2015-2020 Honda Fit \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n(1) Front Strut Bar Center Section\u003cdiv\u003e(2) Front Strut Bar Mounting Plates\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Hardware Pack\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Installation Manual\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Tanabe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45919526617122,"sku":"TAN-TTB185F","price":188.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/TAN-TTB185F_q10e.jpg?v=1791059070","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/tanabe-sustec-front-strut-bar-2015-2020-honda-fit-gk5","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
