C8 Corvette aFe CONTROL Rear Suspension Strut Brace (2020-2026)

aFe 450-401016-H Stainless Steel Rear Suspension Strut Brace for C8 Corvette

The aFe CONTROL Rear Suspension Strut Brace 450-401016-H is a vehicle-specific chassis brace for the 2020-2026 C8 Corvette with the 6.2L V8. Fabricated from laser-cut 18-gauge 304 stainless steel, the brace uses a TIG-welded clamshell truss design to increase rear chassis rigidity while adding a clean brushed-stainless appearance to the Corvette's rear compartment.

This brace is built for C8 Corvette owners who want a more rigid chassis connection without cutting, drilling, or permanent modification. By tying the rear suspension mounting area together with a lightweight structural brace, it helps reduce unwanted chassis flex and supports a more connected feel during spirited street driving, autocross, and track use.
