E210 rear strut bar/trunk brace

Awesome product! Super fast shipping! Arrived the week I ordered. Great quality and install was a breeze. As for performance is as advertised. Less flex in the rear. Definitely recommend this product and company!

Great customer service

Shipping was fast. Box was damaged and transit. Although I didn't ask for anything they sent me some Swag due to the mishandling of shipping. Thanks guys!!

Ford Focus ST (2013-2018) Rear Crash Bar
Justin Hall
Fit my ’08 Mazdaspeed3!

After years of looking for a rear crash bar for my ’08 Mazdaspeed3 I tried this one. Mazda handed off its MS3 platform to Ford after the second generation of its hot hatch, resulting in the Ford Focus ST. Would an ST bar bolt up to an MS3 since they share so many parts, I wondered? Turns out it bolts up to the bottom two studs, you just have to drill a hole for the top outer mount points (put your own bolts through these) and ignore the top inners. TB's rear crash bar is incredible, light and stiff, amazingly well made, looks gorgeous.

Ford Focus ST (2013-2018) 6 Point Crossmember Brace
2018 Focus ST
Doesn't do the job

I bought the rear traction brace and it worked. I bought the gusset brace and it worked. I bought the crossmember , but despite making my ST body not flex anymore during cornering which feels great, the steering wheel is now sloppy when centered making it hard to keep the car going straight, it takes more angle to turn the car, therefore the steering wheel feels disconnected from the front wheels and isn't precise anymore, and the front wheels have clearly less traction. I did an alignment, I have new indy 500 tires, adjustable sway bar but that crossmember brace isn't it for me.
