Cusco 140 510 A Strut Bar Type AS Polished Aluminum Shock Tower Brace

The Cusco 140 510 A Type AS Strut Bar is a lightweight, bolt-on chassis brace engineered to reduce strut tower flex and improve front-end handling response. Featuring a polished aluminum shaft paired with Cusco's signature blue-finished steel end plates, the Type AS delivers a clean, performance-focused aesthetic alongside real structural benefit.

The Type AS designation stands for Aluminum Shaft, Round Type — a slimmer-diameter tube profile specifically designed to maximize clearance in tight or compact engine bays. Despite the reduced outer diameter, the bar maintains excellent rigidity through increased wall thickness, ensuring chassis stiffness is not compromised.

Key Features:

• Polished aluminum shaft — lightweight round-section construction for strength without added weight
• Blue steel end plates — Cusco's signature blue-finished steel mounting plates for a premium look and solid attachment points
• Slim tube diameter — designed for compact engine bays with tight clearance requirements
• Increased wall thickness — compensates for reduced outer diameter to maintain structural integrity
• Bolt-on installation — no cutting or welding required; installs in minutes with standard hand tools
• All hardware included — complete mounting hardware provided for a straightforward installation

The Cusco Type AS strut bar connects the front strut towers to reduce chassis flex under cornering loads, resulting in sharper steering response and a more precise, connected feel behind the wheel. It is an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved handling dynamics without sacrificing underhood clearance.
