Cusco Strut Bar OS Rear BH5 Legacy OUTBACK

When you're looking to tighten up the rear end of your 2000-2004 Subaru Legacy or Outback, a rear strut bar is a solid choice. This part connects the two upper strut towers in the back of your car, creating a more rigid chassis. A stiffer chassis means the suspension can do its job more effectively, leading to improved handling and a more connected feel on the road, especially when cornering.

Cusco builds this strut bar with a strong, lightweight aluminum construction. The 'OS' in the name stands for 'Over-Steering,' which is a bit of a misnomer as this bar is designed to reduce body roll and improve overall stability, not induce oversteer. It's a direct bolt-on part, meaning you won't need to drill or weld anything to install it. The bar itself is a substantial 40mm in diameter, giving it good stiffness without adding excessive weight.

Installing this bar is a straightforward way to make a noticeable difference in how your car handles. It's a popular upgrade for drivers who want a more responsive feel from their Legacy or Outback, particularly if they push their car a bit on twisty roads or want a more planted feel during spirited driving.
