Cusco's strut braces have many different styles and finishes depending on the buyer. Their Type-CB offers amazing strength and reduced weight. Unlike the Type ALC bars, the Type CB is full carbon fiber without any aluminum on the inside. The end plates are painted gray and the bar is clear coated giving it a nice finishing touch. Cusco's Type-ALC OS starts out the same as the classic Type OS bar, but offers a different look. The tubular aluminum oval shaft is carried over from the Type OS, and then wrapped in carbon fiber. The end plates are painted gray for a nice look. The most popular of the Cusco bars is the Type OS. The classic design features a tubular aluminum oval shaft with a high polish finish. The end plates are painted the traditional Cusco blue. The Type 40 is made of aluminum and features a high polish finish with gray end plates. The diameter of this bar is 40mm, which is just a bit over 1" Cusco's new Titanium Bar is finally here in the states. Offering the same high quality as the rest of their lineup, the titanium bar features considerable weight reduction without compromising the strength, this bar weighs in at a mere 1.3 lbs. All bars include all mounting hardware and instructions for easy installation.

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: 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: 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.
