ECS Front Subframe Brace – Red Anodized – Mk7 Manual

The GTI isn’t by any means a ‘sloppy’ car in terms of chassis rigidity, but under high-stress environments, like spirited driving or track events, it can flex and deliver a removed driving experience. Our new MK7 Front Subframe Brace is a piece to the puzzle for chassis stiffness that will provide a more connected, rigid, and responsive feeling behind the wheel of your VW. 

Our new MK7 Front Subframe Brace is constructed of 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum and CNC machined for a perfect finish. Available in both anodized black and red aluminum, this brace is attractive and functional as a structural improvement and designed to fit with our existing Pendulum Mount upgrade and Street Shield Skid Plate so you don’t have to choose between excellent upgrade options in your MK7.
