While driving, the body of the car is bent or twisted due to external force (input from the road surface), and the car is distorted at an invisible level.

A body with high rigidity has less distortion, and a body with low rigidity has more distortion.

So what happens when the body is distorted? Bending the body to some extent can also improve comfort as the body absorbs the impact from the road surface. However, if the body is distorted, the force that you want to convey to the road surface will be absorbed together, which will lead to deterioration of cornering performance and traction performance.

Therefore, in order to enjoy sports driving, it is essential to increase the rigidity of the body, but the easiest and most effective way is to install the front strut bar.

The area around the strut tower, where the suspension is fixed, is a part that easily receives input from the road surface, and the front that steers in particular has a large effect on handling.

The reason why automakers who prioritize cost sometimes adopt a genuine strut bar on the front is to improve handling performance.

It is a body reinforcement part that can obtain such a great effect.

The strut bar is a "tension bar" that firmly suppresses the deformation of the left and right strut towers.

Cusco's strut bar, which has been developed by feeding back many years of experience in motor sports, has a lineup of various types in pursuit of the best for each model.

Oval shaft strut bar

◎ Uses a highly rigid shaft made of lightweight aluminum with an oval cross section.

◎ Three types of cross-sectional shapes are set according to the clearance in the engine room depending on the model.

◎ The mounting plate is made of steel and has a blue finish.
