The GKTech Frame Rail Extension Reinforcement Brace is designed to strengthen the front tension rod mounting area on the Nissan S13 Silvia and 180SX by reinforcing the weak, crash-prone section of the front frame rail. In stock form, this area is vulnerable to cracking, flexing, or distortion under hard braking or during front-end collisions. This brace extends and reinforces the factory frame rail, creating a more solid platform for tension rod brackets and improving chassis integrity.
Fabricated from laser-cut steel and finished in a corrosion-resistant coating, this brace is an easy bolt-on solution that installs using existing factory holes with the included hardware—no cutting, welding, or fabrication required.
