Construction & Design

The Cusco Type D 40D strut bar features a meticulously engineered design that combines lightweight construction with high strength. The hollow aluminum tubing is CNC-machined into a D-shape profile, which is known for its superior torsional rigidity compared to round tubing. The welded billet aluminum ends are precision-machined to ensure a perfect fit, providing a solid connection between the strut towers.

The steel end plates are coated in a titanium gray finish, offering corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance. The overall design emphasizes minimal weight addition while maximizing structural reinforcement, making it an excellent upgrade for performance-oriented drivers. The bar's compact profile ensures compatibility with the engine bay layout of the S14 chassis, providing clearance for other components and modifications.

Performance & Sound

While the primary benefit of the Cusco Front Strut Bar Type D 40D is improved handling and chassis stiffness, users often notice a more responsive steering feel and enhanced stability during aggressive driving.
