Hello members,
I've been in contact with the chassis tuning company, Ultra Racing (ULTRA RACING Chassis Strengthening Technology) in hopes of having a front strut brace manufactured for the 2006 - 2010 Hyundai Sonata with 3.3 V6. Ultra Racing currently manufactures a quality on piece non adjustable steel bar for the 06 - up Hyundai Sonata with 2.4 liter Hyundai Sonata (2006) Front Strut Bar / Front Tower Bar UR-TW2-653
(bar will not fit 3.3 which is not stated. I tried and still have new!)
If enough interest is generated, than production will begin. I will gather additional information on pricing and pre-order as it becomes available. If interested in finally having a quality strut bar available, please e-mail Evan at evan@nextgentuning.com. Put Hyundai Sonata 3.3 V6 strut bar in subject line and include that your a member of Hyundai-Forums.com in your e-mail.
Recently, I've been contacted by Evan Carollo of NextGen Tunning, and he has a strut bar however, needs test vehicle to test fit it into bfore manufacturing can begin. If any member has a 06 - 2010 Hyundai Sonata (3.3 V6) and is located near or around Rome NY, and is available, please contact;

Thanks for your time and hope production of strut bar can begin.

 

Just a follow up with regard to front strut tower brace. I purchased OEM strut brace for 09 Hyundai Genesis (part # 546812M000) with left and right brackets, (part # 546832M000 & 546842M000). Did test fit and discovered bar fit / attached to existing strut bolts however, left and right brackets used to attach bar (when installed in Hyundai Genesis), did not line up with existing strut bolts in the 07 Sonata. The bar cleared manifold cover and I was able to close hood without issue. Links to photos below.

Follow up,
I've not received follow up from Ultra Racing, so I've since contacted Kyle Millen at Stillen Performance. They are interested in producing one piece strut brace for 06 -2010 Sonata 3.3 however, would like to see what demand is before committing to project.
So, all that are interested, please send e-mail to Kyle at;
kmillen@stillen.com
Include Hyundai Sonata strut brace in subject line and include https://www.hyundaiforum.com in body. For example;
As per posting on https://www.hyundaiforum.com, I'm interested in seeing strut brace produced for the 06 -2010 Sonata with 3.3 engine.
Hopefully enough interest will be generated to have one produced!
Thanks in advance, to all members for taking the time to view.

 

Follow up regarding strut bar.
I've yet to receive a follow up from Even at NextGen Tunning / Ultra Racing. Existing Ultra Racing bar was test fitted back on 8/6/11 (thanks to a member from Hyundai House of Power forum who resides in the area). Even was to also test fit the following KFX strut bar, to confirm claim it can be installed in 3.3 vehicle without issue (not a one piece bar however and aluminum);
