Ford Focus ST (2013-2018) 6 Point Crossmember Brace

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.

One complaint I had was body flex from the Focus platform. I was reluctant to believe this brace could change the driving dynamic as much as it actually did.my Focus feels like my Mercedes, solid. Absolutely recommend the TB braces. They do what you want them to. I should have got this earlier, but at least I can now recognize the difference of before and after. Well done, it feels like a new body.

Coupled this with the torque gusset and what an improvement. The car feels much tighter in the corners. I can feel a better connection with it and to the pavement. Too notch performance as always.

Phenomenal fit and finish. On and off ramps are going to be a lotta fun!😉

If you are doing any of the bottom chassis pieces this is a must have! Install was easy, sure the subframe bolts are tight but just use a breaker bar lol. Other than that beware of rust on the old 15mm bolts when rethreading.
