The factory Audi\/Porsche front subframe brace is manufactured from multiple pieces of stamped steel, and allows for performance-hindering chassis flex under load. This torsional flex can result in improper suspension geometry and alignment when cornering, and leads to vague steering feel and lack of steering precision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 034Motorsport X-Brace is a billet aluminum chassis reinforcement to replace the factory front subframe brace to increase torsional rigidity, resulting in improved steering feel and handling performance. Machined in-house from T6-6061 billet aluminum, the 034Motorsport X-Brace is engineered to outperform the stock welded, stamped steel part and ensure that suspension geometry is not compromised by chassis flex under hard cornering. Weighing in at 8.2 pounds versus 7.8 pounds for the factory stamped steel part, the X-Brace adds significant strength and rigidity with a negligible effect on weight.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis chassis brace upgrade was thoroughly tested by 034Motorsport and independent Audi enthusiasts before release. Installation is very simple, can be performed in minutes, and is completely reversible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eT6-6061 Billet Aluminum Construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCNC-Machined In-House\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClear Anodized Finish for Durability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngineered to Replace Factory Front Subframe Brace\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDrastically Reduces Chassis Flex When Cornering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnhances Handling Dynamics and Performance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImproves Steering Feel, Consistency, and Precision\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWill Not Cause Additional NVH Transfer Inside Cabin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModular Design Fits Both B8 (Pre-Facelift) \u0026amp; B8.5 (Facelift) Models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEasy, Straightforward Installation!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e034Motorsport Billet Aluminum X-Brace Chassis Reinforcement (Fits B8\/B8.5 Audi A4\/S4\/RS4, A5\/S5\/RS5, Q5\/SQ5)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModular X-Brace Inserts (Set of 2) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eM10 X-Brace Assembly Screws (Set of 4)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eM5 Undercarriage Tray Mounting Screws (Set of 4)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e15mm Undercarriage Tray Mounting Washers (Set of 4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e2009 - 2016 Audi A4 (B8\/B8.5)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll LHD Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003e2010 - 2016 Audi Allroad (B8\/B8.5) \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll LHD Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2010 - 2017 Audi S4 (B8\/B8.5)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll LHD Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003e2013 - 2017 Audi RS4 (B8\/B8.5)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll LHD Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003e2008 - 2017 Audi A5 (B8\/B8.5)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll LHD Models Except Cabriolet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003e2008 - 2017 Audi S5 (B8\/B8.5) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll LHD Models Except Cabriolet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003e2013 - 2017 Audi RS5 (B8\/B8.5)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll LHD Models Except Cabriolet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003e2008 - 2017 Audi Q5\/SQ5 (B8\/B8.5)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll LHD Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003e2014-2020 Porsche Macan (95B) 2.0T FSI\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2015-2021 Porsche Macan S (95)B 3.0T FSI\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2016-2020 Porsche Macan GTS (95B) 3.0T FSI \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2015-2019 Porsche Macan Turbo (95B) 3.6T FSI\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2019-2021 Porsche Macan Turbo (95B) 2.9T FSI \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2015-2019 Porsche Macan Turbo w\/ Performance Pack (95B) 3.6T FSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e8T1 399 345J \u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\/ 8T1399345J\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e8K1 399 345E \u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\/ 8K1399345E\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFits LHD (Left-Hand-Drive) Vehicles Only.
