Subframe Brace for 9-3 SS/SC 2008> XWD models. Enhances steering feedback and precision by reinforcing and triangulating the subframe. Gives a better feel over rough roads. Easy install to existing holes. Lightweight tubular construction will not affect crashworthiness. Similar in concept to that used by the factory on the convertible cars but at a much better value. Black Texture Powdercoat. Special version for XWD cars. Some -09 2.0T have a large silencer on the turbo pipe that combined with the assembly tolerances can lead to the silencer contacting the brace unless it is adjusted.
