When pushing your vehicle hard on the track or drag strip, the last thing you want is excessive engine movement. Unfortunately, this is a common problem for some popular car models due to the failure of the OEM pitch stop brace. Thankfully, aftermarket components from Verus Engineering can halt the engine rocking and give you a better feel. Learn more about these parts and what to look for when purchasing yours.
What Are The Signs Of A Faulty Pitch Stop Brace?
Aftermarket pitch stop braces like this one installed on a GR Toyota Corolla will minimize engine rocking and provide a more precise driver feel.
You love your GR Toyota Corolla or Subaru WRX and why not? They’re fast, engaging, and generally fun to drive. But like many other models, they have some OEM components that aren’t up to the challenge of high-intensity driving, namely the pitch stop brace. If your brace is failing–or already broken–you’ll likely notice forward and rearward engine rocking during hard accelerating or decelerating.
Along with the movement and vibration, you may experience a vague feeling in the shifter and lose feel for your engine and drivetrain. In addition, when the engine is rocking, it does not transmit as much power to the ground, further degrading performance.
How Can An Aftermarket Pitch-Stop Mount Help?
Available in different colors, Verus pitch stop braces for the Subaru WRX give drivers a more solidly mounted engine and better shifter engagement.
Upgrading to an aftermarket pitch stop mount makes sense for many reasons. You’ll enjoy better power delivery from a more solidly mounted engine and improved shifter engagement for a more precise feel. The American-made pitch-stop mounts from Verus are excellent choices for the following reasons:
- Constructed from a solid block of 6061 aluminum, Verus mounts give you a stronger, longer-lasting component than the cast aluminum OEM part.
- In-house CNC machining on 5-axis mills ensures precision and proper fitment.
- The anodized black coating offers superior corrosion resistance.
- Three durometer bushings are included at different stiffness levels to accommodate your driving style and modifications. Note: 70A durometer units are recommended as they offer the least noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) of the three provided options.
- You get a simple, bolt-on installation with no other modifications to the engine or chassis.
