Our S30 Front Strut Brace is made from steel and is solid mounted. Unlike other strut braces, our 240z 260z 280z Front Strut Brace is welded as one piece rather than adjustable heims or rod ends which can transfer the deflection from one side to the other. With the addition of our Tri-Brace the strut towers are further reinforced by attaching to the fire wall with a backing plate reinforcement providing a strong and secure finish.
Our Strut Brace is designed to be suitable for many engine swaps, however cannot guarantee fitment for all setups. Please contact us for questions about fitment / clearances.

Verified ownerNicely made brace. Red powder coat matches my car exactly. Slight enlargement of the mount hold needed for installation - 3 minutes work, then perfect fit.
Verified ownerI just got the front bar and not the firewall brace. I love it. Been looking for a strut bar that's not janky nonsense. Fit right over my na-t 2jz engine with a top mount turbro manifold. 5/5 she's way mint/mad sturdy!
The Apex Engineered S30 (240Z / 260Z / 280Z) Front Strut Brace is compatible with 1969-1978 Nissan S30 models, including the 240Z, 260Z, and 280Z.

Installing the Apex Engineered S30 (240Z / 260Z / 280Z) Front Strut Brace is a straightforward process designed for easy installation on the factory strut towers. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware to secure the solid-mounted brace to your chassis. For those seeking maximum rigidity, the optional Tri-Brace upgrade includes a backing plate reinforcement for a secure attachment to the firewall.
The Apex Engineered S30 (240Z / 260Z / 280Z) Front Strut Brace offers superior rigidity compared to OEM or adjustable aftermarket braces because it is welded as a single solid piece. By eliminating adjustable heims or rod ends, this design prevents the transfer of deflection between towers, providing a much stronger and more stable front end. The race-inspired construction is finished in a tough powder coat to ensure long-lasting durability and a premium look.
Each Apex Engineered S30 (240Z / 260Z / 280Z) Front Strut Brace kit comes with a lightweight, tubular steel one-piece brace and all required mounting hardware.

If you select the Tri-Brace option, you will also receive the additional support bars and the firewall backing plate reinforcement.
The Apex Engineered S30 (240Z / 260Z / 280Z) Front Strut Brace is an essential foundation that pairs perfectly with our other S30 suspension upgrades like Front Fender Braces and Frame Rails. While the Front Strut Brace focuses on reducing tower flex, adding our Steering Rack conversion or Sway Bars further enhances the handling precision of your 240Z, 260Z, or 280Z. Combining these components creates a comprehensive reinforcement strategy for the aging S30 chassis.
