ECS Tuning MK7 Front Subframe Brace - Red Anodized

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.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

• Our ECS Billet Front Subframe Brace was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing

INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT

• Need installation tips? We put together a full installation tutorial from start to finish. See our Installation PDF under the INSTALLATION Tab for more information.
• ONLY compatible on vehicles with a manual transmission. Due to the larger gearbox housing on DSG transmissions this brace will not fit between the subframe and transmission case.
