• Steel end plate brackets, painted in a sleek titanium gray color, are precisely engineered for flawless fitment on the specific vehicle application, ensuring secure attachment and alignment.
• Available in three different center bar types, allowing you to choose the optimal configuration based on your driving style and performance needs.

Construction & Design

The Cusco Type-40D Strut Bar is meticulously designed with a focus on durability, weight reduction, and performance.
