Why a Strut Tower Brace Matters
A strut tower brace links the two front suspension towers together, reducing flex, keeping suspension geometry more stable under load, and giving you sharper steering response and more predictable handling through turns, bumps, and braking. Wikipedia+2ultraracingsa.com+2
If you’re driving a Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum or Chrysler 300, especially one with power upgrades or lowered suspension, the front strut tower brace from Khaos Motorsports is a cost-effective way to stiffen the front end and improve overall ride feel.

What a Strut Tower Brace Does (and Doesn’t)
-
Reduces chassis flex: By tying both strut towers, the brace resists twisting forces that build under cornering or aggressive driving, keeping suspension geometry consistent. Wikipedia+2Crawford Performance+2
-
Improves steering feel & response: With less flex and more rigidity up front, turn-in feels sharper and more direct, especially under load or during quick transitions. AmericanMuscle.com+1
-
Better chassis stability on uneven roads: The brace helps spread load between towers when hitting bumps or dips, reducing unpredictable body flex or soft-feeling front end. ultraracingsa.com+1
What it doesn't do:
-
A strut brace isn’t a replacement for quality sway bars or suspension tuning. It doesn’t drastically increase grip or reduce body roll on its own. Several forum-tested builds note that unless you’re cornering hard, the difference on daily driving can be subtle. Challenger Talk+1
-
The main benefit is stability, predictability, and better suspension geometry, not magical horsepower or grip jumps.
When the Upgrade Makes the Biggest Difference
This brace is worth installing if you:
-
Drive a Challenger, Charger, Magnum or 300 and want sharper handling or better front-end composure.
-
Have suspension, wheels/tires, or power upgrades and want the chassis to keep up.
-
Do spirited driving, corner carving, track days, or high-speed driving where suspension load varies quickly.
-
Want a simple bolt-on mod that reinforces the chassis without impacting ride comfort.
For casual daily driving alone, the benefits may feel modest — but for performance- or upgrade-oriented builds, this is one of the more cost-effective chassis mods.
Installation & Fitment Notes
-
The brace mounts to the top of the stock strut towers, usually bolts-on, no welding needed.
-
Installation typically takes under an hour with basic hand tools.
-
For best results: torque bolts to spec, ensure even fitment, and check clearance if you have aftermarket struts or a supercharger.
-
After install: you might notice slightly firmer ride over bumps, but steering feel, corner entry, and chassis stability tend to improve especially under load.
FAQ
Will a strut tower brace improve acceleration or horsepower?
No, the benefit is in handling, chassis rigidity, and steering response, not engine performance.
Does it make ride quality harsher on rough roads?
Not usually. Most drivers find the change negligible. On very rough roads, there may be a slight increase in vibration, but comfort remains acceptable.
Is it a bolt-on install or does it require welding/modification?
For 2005-2023 Challengers/Chargers/Magnums/300s, it’s a bolt-on install, no welding or cutting required.
Do I need other suspension upgrades to see benefits?
Not strictly, but combining a strut tower brace with upgraded sway bars, bushings, or shocks delivers more noticeable handling improvements.
Is this mod worth it for a daily driver?
If you prioritize better steering feel, tighter chassis response, and want a more composed ride, yes. If your driving is mostly relaxed cruising, the differences will be subtle.
