HKS Full Carbon Chassis Brace Set for MK5 Toyota Supra
The new HKS Carbon Brace jointly designed with Graphite Design, the No. 1 golf carbon shaft company, improves driving performance and ride comfort, while giving a luxurious feel. Legendary driver Max Orido collaborated on this project, assisting in both design and track testing.
Manufactured with high quality Japanese-made carbon material, the HKS Carbon Brace features a high-strength and moderately flexible carbon shaft, which is also used in golf clubs. The HKS Carbon Brace utilizes the unique “Flex” to help improve rigidity, without risking ride quality.
Efforts to utilize “Flex” rather than merely increasing strength Combination of high strength and ” Flex” jointly developed with a leading golf shaft company
In general, bracing increases rigidity but may worsen ride quality. As a solution to achieve both improved driving performance and ride comfort, a shaft made of high-quality carbon, which is also used in golf clubs, is adopted, combining high strength with a good “Flex”. This was made possible with the cooperation of “GRAPHITE DESIGN INC.”, a renowned manufacturer of golf shafts used by famous professional golfers.

Max Orido’s Comments on Driving Performance
・ Compared to the stock brace, the ride quality was smoother and improved. Vibration has been drastically reduced and the ride quality has been greatly improved.
・The tension on the body is not a cheap tension, but rather a gentle rise without rebound while damping slight vibrations and load changes, but with firm rigidity that responds linearly to steering and car movements.
・Slight vibrations and sudden load changes are absorbed by moderate flex, yet no feedback is released.
・The effects and changes are astonishing, and the fact that they have such a positive effect on both comfort and handling is highly valuable.
・With the stock brace bar, the body always sticks out too much not only during cornering but also during acceleration and braking, which causes sudden changes in tire pressure and makes the car behave in a peaky way, which further reduces controllability. It seems to be effective not only in feeling but also in traction and stability of driving performance, so that you can drive fast and stable with ease.

・We tested the HKS CARBON BRACE in various patterns and were surprised at the difference in feeling. It changes handling, traction performance and the way ABS comes on.
・It is better to use the body and tires while flexing them moderately rather than just stiffening them without any consideration.
・While it flexes, the flexure is mild, so the driver can clearly feel it while driving. The effect is outstanding.
