Cusco Strut Bar Type-OS Rear 11+ Subaru Impreza GP7/GJ7 2.0NA 4WD XV

This is the Cusco Type-OS rear strut bar, designed for the 2011 and newer Subaru Impreza models with the GP7/GJ7 chassis, specifically the 2.0NA 4WD XV variants. A strut bar connects the tops of your rear shock towers, helping to reduce body flex during cornering. By tying these points together, it keeps the suspension geometry more consistent, which can lead to a more responsive feel when you turn.

Cusco's Type-OS bar features a unique oval-shaped shaft, which is both strong and lightweight. This design helps to stiffen the chassis without adding excessive weight to your vehicle. The mounting brackets are made from steel and are powder-coated for durability and corrosion resistance. Installation typically involves bolting the bar directly to the existing shock tower mounts, making it a straightforward upgrade for many DIYers.

Adding a rear strut bar like this one can make a noticeable difference in how your Impreza handles, especially on winding roads or during spirited driving. It's a well-known modification among Subaru owners looking to improve their car's cornering performance.
