**********s.com is proud to bring to the Bimmerpost community the Cusco OS Style Strut Brace. The Cusco OS Style Strut Brace is a lightweight aluminum strut brace reduces flex in your vehicle's chassis allowing for better handling, and steering response. The Cusco OS Style Strut Brace is purely bolt-on and only requires a socket wrench for installation. The Cusco OS Style Strut Brace features signature Cusco Blue end plates for a unique appearance.

A stiffer chassis is a more responsive chassis. It really is as simple as that. Strut braces are used to reduce the amount of flex in the factory strut towers (the part of the chassis housing the factory strut assembly). Under hard conering loads, especially with ultra-sticky race tires, the strut assembly is pulled laterally at the strut top. Over time, the chasis fatigues and allows the strut tower itself to flex, resulting in deflection in the suspension.

A Strut brace, as the name implies, ties together the strut towers and, in some cases, braces them against the firewall or any other part of the car's chassis, to reduce flex and movement at the strut towers. The benefit to the driver is a firmer and less flexible-feeling chassis with better turn-in response!

We've sold a good number of these to various members here on the forums and have had nothing but positive feedback. The Cusco Strut Brace is purely bolt-on and only requires a socket wrench for installation as well. Here are a few more installed pics from one of my customers cars for you to check out (sorry for the low quality pics)!

Does this bar at all mess with access to the oil filler cap, or oil changes in general, etc.?

Fredz · 03-21-2011, 09:49 PM

yes, it right on the top of the oil cap....

but only 3-4 nuts to unscrew at each 24000 km...
