Strut Brace
For Porsche 944 / 968
This cross brace bolts between the rearmost mounting points of the front control arms. It resists deflection of the chassis at those points, which can occur under heavy braking and cornering. The R-1524 was designed with obsessive attention to minimizing weight. Precision waterjet machining allows for an intricate structure, providing superior stiffness at an exceptionally light weight.
NOTE: If using late-model 968 or aftermarket caster blocks, special-order end brackets are necessary. Contact your dealer or distributor for details!
Material: 6061 T-6 aluminium skeleton, 304 stainless steel mount brackets
Finish: Anodized aluminium
Weight: 2.6 lbs
Models: Porsche 944 (1985 ½ -1992), 968
Installation: Bolts to rear bushing housings of front control arms
Miscellaneous: For best results, use hardened control arm bushings. 924 and early 944 models can be adapted by using late 944 alloy control arms and bushing mounts.

Porsche Motorsport Strut Braces | Design911 High-Performance Chassis Reinforcement
Strut braces are a vital upgrade for any Porsche involved in motorsport, spirited road driving, or performance tuning. They reinforce the vehicle’s suspension structure, maintaining precise chassis alignment under heavy cornering, braking, and acceleration. Whether fitted to a classic 911 or a modern Cayman GT4, these precision-engineered components enhance rigidity, stability, and steering response.
At Design911, we supply a premium range of strut braces and chassis reinforcement bars designed for strength, lightness, and exact fitment. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, carbon fibre, and steel alloys, each brace offers exceptional torsional stiffness without unnecessary weight gain. Ideal for track-day setups, motorsport preparation, or performance restoration, our collection ensures your Porsche handles exactly as intended.
What Do Strut Braces Do?
Strut braces link the suspension towers together to reduce chassis flex, ensuring consistent handling characteristics even under high load.
Core Functions:
• Increase chassis stiffness and reduce body roll.
• Maintain precise suspension geometry during cornering.
• Improve steering accuracy and feedback.
• Reduce stress and movement in upper suspension mounts.
• Enhance overall driving stability and predictability.
By reinforcing the front or rear suspension structure, strut braces create a more connected, confident, and performance-focused driving experience — both on road and track.
Why Do Strut Braces Fail or Degrade?
Over time and through aggressive driving, strut braces can lose effectiveness due to fatigue, corrosion, or damage from improper installation or accidents.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Metal fatigue from repeated torsional loads.
• Corrosion or cracking in alloy or steel construction.
• Worn joints or mounting hardware causing flex or noise.
• Impact damage from track incidents or suspension movement.
• Substandard aftermarket materials lacking proper reinforcement.
When a strut brace fails or weakens, suspension alignment suffers — leading to reduced handling precision, unpredictable cornering, and compromised safety.
Why Replace or Upgrade Your Porsche Strut Brace?
Upgrading to a modern performance-spec strut brace ensures your Porsche maintains its optimal chassis integrity and handling balance.
Key Benefits:
• Restores and enhances chassis rigidity.
• Improves cornering stability and steering response.
• Prevents tower flex and suspension misalignment.
• Available in lightweight aluminium, carbon fibre, and reinforced steel.
• Precision-engineered for Porsche 911, Cayman, Boxster, and 718 models.
• Essential for motorsport, track-day, or high-performance road setups.
