Product install: Ford Focus Rear strut bar from Massivespeedsystem.com

This is the full product install video for the Massive speed system rear strut tower bar for the 2012-2018+ Ford focus.
Twist has meet its match - Triangulation! Our unique bar employs well known race fab tech to bring your Focus’ chassis in check! Massive Competition Series Rear Stress Bars are meant for more than just beauty - they feature HUGE 1.5 Inch steel roll bar tubing with 1/8” thick heavy duty dual mount flanges for the ultimate in strength. This is far thicker than our competitors, hence the “competition” name.
Simple install with basic hand tools and a drill. Quality made in the USA. Comes with premium thickness powder coating for long lasting service in your choice of colors! Vinyl Massive logo so people will know you use the best!!!
Why it's better: This design picks up the actual shock mounts - where the transfer of energy is greatest. And we dont affix the bar to this critical point with spindly little "stand offs". We employ a solid billet aluminum block to transmit all of the shock mount's area into the flat steel bracket. Some designs do offer triangulation as we have utilized here. However, they forego the critical shock mount attachment. Additionally, our triangulated bracket is mated to the shock mount and the solid 2 layer steel near the top of the vertical area, not the paper thin wheel well area, so strength is maximized. No drill installation optional

[@thatracinglife]

[@AJT773]

[@thatracinglife]

[@thatracinglife]

Nice!

[@ytoal]

Going to get one for my 2012 Focus S, thank you!

[@thatracinglife]

Great piece and made in the USA!

[@benturner4352]

That looks like a very nice product! I noticed Griffin waukesha on plate! I'm in oconomowoc!

[@thatracinglife]

Nice! Massive is in Northern IL. I am from southern Wi now myself. Strut bar is Made in USA!

[@AnthonyMcqueen1987]

I need one for my 2012 focus se daily driver for support for the long haul.

[@TOUGHBUILDSCUSTOMS]

love it looks very good and its add better looks to show at car meets witch I go to.I do know that the focus has a lot of body roll anything to help that i am down.

[@peytonthomas2941]

Is this process the same for the mk1 hatch?

[@jessebudelman]

The scrapes and scuffs on the plastic trim triggers my ocd...

[@thatracinglife]

That car had a rough life. Obviously you can take your sweet time with your own car and not scratch anything if you wish. This was just for demonstration purposes.

[@jessebudelman]

Fair enough

[@anthonymalfino1]

Just scooped up the front and aye chuaiha. Have the rear in zee garage

[@michaelwittke8336]

for the additional bolts, why wouldn't you utilize nutserts?

[@thatracinglife]

Not everyone has the tools for that. This makes it more user friendly.

[@johannsauco4966]

I got cusco strut bar for eg hatch and i tried installing it but it cant fit do i need to jack the car first?

[@thatracinglife]

Shouldn't have to. But maybe it will help.

[@tOfficial01]

Hey man. You have anymore uploads coming out soon? I really like your channel.

[@thatracinglife]

Noah Tammaro it's been between 0 and -35 degrees the past few weeks. I haven't been able to do much. Lol. But I do have a couple planned once it gets warm enough not to break my camera! Thanks for watching and subscribing!

[@tOfficial01]

That Racing Life lol i feel you. Was trying to build a go kart for a friend, but then cold hit and i cant even work in my garage its so cold. Glad to know you will make videos once the weather gets better though! Love you 1000 dollar race car. Good series

[@loganisonline6172]

Does this strut bar work on older models (2000-2004)?

[@thatracinglife]

No. Check out the website linked in the description for all parts that are made for your specific year.

[@rs2_ej357]

Can you do a video on the front strut bar ?

[@thatracinglife]

I will talk to Massive about it. That is a much more simple install for sure.

[@Justin-autos]

Surely those two tiny bolts holding the rear shocks wouldn't pass FEA

[@sensoryadaptation4878]

Do you know if Massive Speed sells just the hardware for this bar?

[@thatracinglife]

Probably. Give karl a call.

[@TomTom-xh6cn]

cool where is the front?

[@thatracinglife]

I believe the first 2 prototypes were just completed a month ago and are in testing currently. I would have to double check with Karl for sure though.

[@penontonyoutube6006]

any difference after install rear strut bar?

[@thatracinglife]

Adds rigidity to the rear of the chassis. Any amount flex you can get rid of in the chassis is a good thing!

[@dannylilley5319]

Does this strut bar fit the sedan???

[@thatracinglife]

Ok, so after checking with Massive directly I found that to make it fit in a sedan directly you would need a different aluminum block. So I stand corrected, the answer is no it doesn't directly fit.

[@urbanfishing7085]

Does anybody else think this guy is on speed? His hands moving quick

[@jessebudelman]

Urban Fishing this is now you break clips...::smash, smash, pound, punch:: done! 😁

[@cccEngineer]

I can't stop thinking about it.

[@michaella4347]

I was all like "settle down Beavis" - but then I realized how much he looks like Charlie from Always Sunny - that explains a lot

[@lashlarue7924]

😎

[@UnfocusedRacing]

If funny seeing Karl without a beer in his hand.

[@thatracinglife]

Unfocused Racing Just happened to be one of those occasions. Haha

[@lashlarue7924]

My kinda guy.

[@siamiam]

:)

[@eb121209]

Lol @ beauty covers. Those are vacuum caps 🤦‍♂️.

[@curiosity2314]

A little ingenuity and you could do this for a fraction of the cost that I'm sure this thing went for. Make it yourself and save big dollars.

[@thatracinglife]

Time or money, you can decide.

[@curiosity2314]

@@thatracinglife Time.

[@nicholasbaldwin1674]

Installed mine tonight... Check out my Instagram! @baldwinracing86 can't wait to go test out the new equipment. Thanks for the video. Made for a quick and painless install

[@tylerkrestel5630]

You guys need to chill tf out id hate to have one of you working on my car

[@thatracinglife]

Lol. This car has been taken apart a thousand times and isn't exactly road worthy. (Totaled) so it wasnt really a concern. Just showing the steps that need to be taken...

[@princeduties2991]

My sister wants your number

[@thatracinglife]

LOL

[@jacklynch7453]

i feel like jacking the car up was unnecessary

[@jamiesterling7976]

Holy shit ball that poor interior. It hacks like this that fuck up a ez install. $100-$200 part but $1500 in interior part replacement. All because you couldn't use a $5 trim removel tool.... priceless.

[@thatracinglife]

I'd much rather trust someone who cant spell easy. I think you missed the obvious.
