JConcepts RB6 Monroe battery brace & FR shock tower

New for the RB6, the Monroe battery brace by JConcepts is highly functional and aesthetic eye-candy, designed from genuine 2.5mm carbon fiber. With so much variety in today’s batteries and with most vehicles having a flexible mounting position forward and aft, functionality is always a top priority. With the Monroe battery brace, running different battery positions is possible while maintaining the necessary terminal clearance and providing a healthy holding force to keep everything intact even in the most demanding conditions or the inevitable crash. Also new for the RB6 is this 4mm carbon fibre front shock tower. A lightweight, durable and high-grade option for the popular vehicle, JConcepts has located and plotted the exact geometry locations while trimming the outer border of the tower in a low-profile and slim configuration. Additional reinforcement ribs have been added where needed for extra strength. The front tower includes front 4 – 3x10mm mounting screws for a secure hassle free attachment.
