A strut tower bar is a cool-looking piece of hardware that ties the two strut towers together. Also known as strut bar, dampener, damper bar, strut brace, or Monte Carlo bar. The performance theory is that it reduces chassis deformation on hard cornering.

Overview

B110 strut-top bolt circle is the same as other Nissans: 122mm diameter 

2-point type: connects right tower to left tower
3-point type: additionally connects to firewall

Track 1200s will crack at the back of the strut towers. Not needed on a street car. The ultimate solution is to use a fully welded rollcage but for class racing where it is not allowed, the Strut Tower Bar is the next best thing.

The brace can be as simple as a single piece of tubing
