Cusco Strut Bar Type AS Rear GC8 Impreza WRX
The Cusco AS Front Strut Bar is a premium chassis reinforcement component that blends lightweight performance with striking visual appeal. Designed to connect the left and right strut towers across the engine bay, this front strut tower bar enhances steering response and chassis rigidity by minimizing unwanted flex during aggressive driving.
Crafted as part of Cusco’s AS (Aluminum Shaft) series, this strut bar features a high-quality oval-shaped aluminum center shaft that offers improved strength-to-weight performance over conventional round bars. Steel end plates ensure secure mounting and long-term durability even under heavy cornering loads, while the polished finish provides a clean, motorsport-inspired aesthetic that elevates any engine bay.
By stiffening the front chassis and tying both suspension towers together, the AS Front Strut Bar enhances turn-in sharpness, reduces understeer, and gives the driver more precise control in both street and track environments. The added structural integrity translates to a more responsive front end and better feedback through the steering wheel.
