Simple but important component that provide basics of frame structural rigidity
A highly effective body reinforcement, the Strut Tower Bar.
"An automobile under load is always flexing and twisting under load in small but significant ways.
What is happening to a car with body flexing? Well a number of things but as the vehicle is subjected to sporting loads, the alignment of the frame is altered, which in turn causes unwanted behaviors in perfomance driving.
One of the way to reduce this unwanted body flex is with the addition of the Cusco Strut Tower Bar. Designed specifically to each car, and fine tuned to needed areas, it bridges the upper mount areas for further rigidity. This lets the suspension system do more work with more precision and accuracy, and translates to higher dynamic handling and feedback. "
Dressing up the engine compartment
The sturt tower bar is visible clearly in the engine compartment, and as such we have a veriety of finishes on the bar to fir your style from our standard Cusco Blue steel bars, polished alloy hollow shaft lightweight bars, to carbon wrapped aluminum.
Benchamark brand, means our components go beyond the normal performance
"Ever since we introduced to Japan the first of our Strut Tower Bars in the late 1970's, we've continually developed to enhance the function of the component. For example, where the brake master cylinder is close to the upper mount area, we've added a choice to include the Brake Master Stopper to enhance the braking feel of the car. Also for high maintenance cars, many of our bars can be refitted with optional quick release end fasteners as well.
Only Cusco offers a specifically optimized design, vehicle specific Strut Tower Bars for over 500 makes and models, from vintage, to racing, exotics and even compacts, trucks, and minivans."
