Specifications
Part Details:
Under hard cornering, the front strut towers flex slightly relative to each other, allowing suspension geometry to shift right when precision matters most. This Cusco OS-Type front strut tower bar ties the towers together with a lightweight, oval cross-section aluminum center bar, reducing that flex for a more solid, connected feel through the front end and sharper, more predictable cornering response.
The center bar’s oval design and internal piping strike a careful balance between strength and weight, so rigidity improves without adding unnecessary mass over the front axle. Steel end plate brackets, finished in Cusco’s signature blue, are precision-matched to the FL5’s factory strut tower points for a clean, exact fit. Installation is straightforward, bolting directly to the existing mounting points with basic hand tools.
