Cusco 122 510 A Type AS Front Strut Bar - Polished Aluminum Shaft

The Cusco 122 510 A Type AS Strut Bar is a front strut tower brace engineered for improved chassis rigidity and handling precision. Featuring a polished round aluminum shaft paired with Cusco blue-finished steel end plates, the Type AS delivers a clean, purposeful look while delivering real performance gains.

The Type AS designation stands for Aluminum Shaft Round Type — a design that uses a thinner pipe diameter compared to Cusco's oval-shaft Type OS bar. This slimmer profile provides greater clearance in compact engine bays while the increased wall thickness maintains excellent structural strength. The result is a lightweight, rigid brace that connects the front strut towers and reduces flex under hard cornering loads.

Key Features:

• Type AS (Aluminum Shaft Round Type) — polished round aluminum shaft construction
• Cusco blue steel end plates — signature finish with durable steel mounting plates
• Thinner pipe diameter for improved fitment in tight or compact engine bays
• Increased wall thickness for excellent rigidity and strength-to-weight ratio
• Bolt-on installation — uses existing strut tower hardware, no cutting or drilling required
• All required mounting hardware included
• Front application

Strut tower braces like the Type AS work by tying together the left and right front strut towers, bracing them against lateral flex during aggressive cornering. The reduced chassis flex translates to more consistent steering response and improved handling feel. The Cusco Type AS installs in minutes using standard hand tools, making it one of the most accessible suspension upgrades available.
