Construction & Design

The Cusco Strut Brace Type AS features a hollow aluminum shaft that balances strength and weight savings, making it an effective chassis reinforcement without adding unnecessary bulk. The steel end plates are precision-painted in Cusco's trademark blue, not only for aesthetic appeal but also for corrosion resistance and durability. The design emphasizes simplicity and reliability, with a straightforward bolt-on installation that aligns perfectly with the vehicle's factory mounting points.

The use of high-quality materials and meticulous engineering ensures that this strut brace maintains its structural integrity over time, even under demanding driving conditions. Its lightweight construction helps preserve the vehicle's suspension responsiveness, while the rigid connection between the strut towers minimizes flex, resulting in more precise steering and improved handling characteristics.

While the Cusco Strut Brace Type AS does not produce any audible sound or performance numbers, its primary benefit lies in enhancing chassis stiffness and handling response. By reducing chassis flex, it allows your suspension components to work more effectively, translating into sharper steering, improved cornering stability, and a more connected driving experience.
