NSX-R FRONT CHASSIS BRACE KIT
When Honda's engineers developed the legendary, track-focused NSX-R, they identified key areas where the standard chassis could be further enhanced to meet the demands of extreme performance driving. This brace kit is a direct result of that factory R&D, and it stands as one of the most effective handling upgrades for any NSX.
The kit consists of two critical reinforcement bars that strategically stiffen the front frame rails, directly combating chassis flex during high-load situations.
Engineering & Performance
- Upper Radiator Brace: This bar is installed in front of the radiator, triangulating the forward-most chassis points. This directly reduces flex during initial turn-in, making the car's steering response sharper and more immediate.
- Lower Battery Tray Brace: Installed under the vehicle above the battery tray, this bar connects the frame rails from below. This creates a stronger, boxed structure that significantly minimizes unwanted dynamic toe change during heavy braking and aggressive cornering.
The result is a tangible and immediate improvement on the road or track. You will notice a marked increase in steering precision and front-end confidence. The car feels more stable and predictable during aggressive maneuvers, allowing you to place it with greater accuracy. This is not just a modification; it's a factory-designed evolution of the NSX chassis.
