CUSCO Strut Tower Bar - SNEAK PEEK

I visited the guys over at CUSCO the other day because they are testing their NEW STRUT TOWER BAR for the Scion tC2!!!

The CUSCO strut tower bar is designed with layers that allow their products to be high quality and still very lightweight. Just with all of their products, it is designed, engineered, and imported straight from Japan.

This product is still under production, just wanted to spread the word.

And now...the sneak peak pictures...



Update from the guys @ CUSCO

Quote:
Just to clarify, the strut bar will be a Type-OS (oval shaft) and plan on being available at the end of July. Im assuming that the MSRP will be set at $200.

Check out the photo i attached in regards to the strut bar construction. (photo courtesy of William Lee Night-Import.com) As you can see on one of the cut-away bars, this type of design and emphasis on lightweight/stress rigidity is what sets us apart from every other strut bar manufacturer. The brackets at the ends are extensively tested to withstand extreme chassis flex as well.
Although it is not much of a good example, there were a few vehicles that had CUSCO strut bars installed and were in a side impact car accident. These cars were completely demolished in the impact areas, but the strut structure still remained intact, almost untouched. Again, this isnt a good example since the objective of the strut bars isnt to protect the chassis when in an accident, but it shows how rigid they are and how frail vehicle chassis really are.
