DC Sports Front Strut Bar for 2015–2020 Acura TLX (SKU: CSB5530)
If your 2015–2020 TLX feels a little vague up front, this DC Sports strut bar tightens it up fast. This TLX steel strut bar ties the front strut towers together, cutting down on chassis flex so the car reacts to your inputs instead of twisting first, then turning. Whether you’ve got the 4-cylinder or V6, this Acura strut tower bar gives you sharper turn-in, more consistent cornering stability, and a more connected feel through the wheel.
This TLX steel strut bar uses a single-piece steel design, so you don’t deal with the slop and play that can show up in multi-piece, adjustable braces after a few thousand miles. No joints to loosen, no hardware to re-check every oil change—just a solid front strut tower bar TLX owners can bolt on and forget. By cutting front-end flex, it lets your springs, dampers, and alignment actually do their job, which means a real handling improvement in daily driving, freeway sweepers, and backroad runs.
We run this same DC Sports strut bar setup on our own cars, so it’s not just for looks—but it does clean up the bay. The low-profile, automotive-grade finish gives you that “yeah, it’s not stock” vibe without being loud or flashy. If you want a straightforward Acura TLX suspension upgrade that you’ll feel every time you turn the wheel, this front strut brace is the kind of handling upgrade that actually earns its keep.
