What is the main benefit of installing a rear strut bar?

A rear strut bar connects the upper strut towers, helping to reduce body flex and chassis distortion during cornering. This leads to a more solid feel, improved steering response, and a more connected driving experience.

Is this strut bar difficult to install on my Celica?

This Cusco strut bar is designed for a direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting points. Basic hand tools are typically sufficient, making it a manageable installation for many DIYers. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific details.

What does 'OS' mean in the product name?

OS stands for 'Over-Steering,' which in this context refers to Cusco's design using a larger diameter shaft for the strut bar. This larger diameter generally provides increased stiffness and rigidity compared to smaller diameter bars.

Product Details

When you're pushing your 1994-1999 Toyota Celica through some spirited driving, especially on twisty roads or during track events, you want the chassis to feel as solid as possible. This Cusco OS (Over-Steering) Rear Strut Bar is designed to connect the upper strut towers in the rear of your Celica. By tying these points together, it helps reduce body flex and chassis distortion that can happen when the car is cornering hard. This means you get a more direct feel from the suspension and improved steering response.

Cusco builds these strut bars with a strong, lightweight aluminum shaft that's designed to be stiff. The mounting brackets are made from steel and are shaped to bolt directly onto the factory strut tower locations. This makes installation pretty straightforward, usually just requiring basic hand tools. The OS design uses a larger diameter shaft compared to some other bars, which can offer a bit more stiffness for those looking for a noticeable change in how the car handles during aggressive maneuvers.

Installing this bar is a popular way to get a more connected feel from your Celica's rear end. It's a well-known modification for this generation of Celica, especially for models like the GT-4 that are often driven hard. Make sure to check the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific details regarding mounting.
