What is the main benefit of installing a strut bar?

A strut bar connects the upper mounting points of your vehicle's suspension struts. This helps to stiffen the chassis, reducing flex and improving steering response and overall handling, especially during cornering.

Does this strut bar come with all the necessary hardware?

This strut bar is designed to bolt directly to the existing strut tower mounting points. While it includes the bar itself, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's instructions or consult with a mechanic to ensure no additional hardware is needed for your specific installation.

What does 'Need PANEL CUT' mean for installation?

This means that to install the strut bar cleanly and ensure it fits properly, you will need to trim a section of the interior plastic paneling in your vehicle's rear hatch area. This is common for larger diameter strut bars that offer maximum rigidity.

Product Details

Cusco is well-known for making performance suspension parts, and this rear strut bar is a solid example of their work for your Subaru Impreza. This bar connects the upper mounting points of your rear shock towers, helping to stiffen up the chassis. When the chassis is more rigid, the suspension can do its job more effectively, leading to improved steering response and a more connected feel to the road, especially during cornering.

This is their 'OS' (Over Steer) strut bar, designed to make a notable difference in how your car handles. It's a well-built piece that bolts directly between the strut towers. Keep in mind that for a clean installation on many Subaru models, you'll need to trim a small section of the interior paneling to allow the bar to fit properly. This is a common modification for strut bars that offer a larger diameter for increased rigidity.

If you're looking to get more out of your Impreza's suspension and want a more direct handling experience, this Cusco strut bar is a great option to consider. It's a popular choice for Subaru owners looking to enhance their car's performance on both the street and the track.
