Smokem Racing TRF416 steering brace

Smokem Racing TRF416 steering brace

Smokem Racing has released a carbon fibre steering brace for the TRF416-series touring cars. A common tuning trick on the TRF416 is to remove the factory aluminum steering bridge to increase front end flex for more steering. But in certain cases, this can make the steering too sensitive and decrease stability. Made from 2.25mm carbon fire, the 416 Steering Brace gives you the perfect compromise of more steering but still awesome stability. Similar custom fabricated steering braces have been used by TRF drivers with great success and now Smokem Racing brings this tuning part to all TRF416 racers.
