OMP is another heavyweight in the racing apparel business, alongside with Sparco, Puma and Alpinestars. OMP is based out of Genoa, Italy and has been a mainstay amongst Formula 1 drivers amongst other professional racers since 1973. Recently, they have delved further into the tuner market, making a great selection of high quality seats, steering wheels, shift knobs and pedals for the car aficionado.
OMP's success in motor racing is reflected by the fact that 7-time Formula 1 world champion, Michael Schumacher had OMP custom tailor his racing suits throughout his career.
OMP registers the word "quality" in the minds of most car junkies, and we think that the quality of their products, let alone the prestige that comes with owning an OMP product, speaks volumes about the way they improve the driving experience.

Q: How do you install a strut bar?
A: Strut bars take mere minutes to install with normal hand tools. First remove your factory strut tower bolts and brace, and then simply re-install them with the new strut bar.
Q: What is a strut bar? Why buy a strut bar?
A: Strut bars (also referred to as strut braces or strut tower braces) are used to reduce the amount of flex in the factory strut towers. Under hard cornering loads, the strut assembly is pulled laterally at the strut top. A strut bar ties together the strut towers and, braces them against flex and movement. So in other words, if you want to be able to accelerate through some turns instead of being forced to brake, a strut bar can help you do that since strut bars help reduce body roll during turns.
Q: Are strut bars available for the front and rear of each vehicle?
A: Strut bars are offered for the front and rear tower braces on vehicles, since your car has struts inside each tire. Buying front and rear strut tower bars will dramatically improve your suspension.
