CUSCO Type OS Front Strut Tower Bar
For 1983ā1987 Toyota Corolla Levin / Sprinter Trueno AE86 & 1985ā1987 Toyota Corolla Sport SR5 & GT-S AE86
Overview
The CUSCO Type OS Front Strut Tower Bar is a vehicle-specific chassis reinforcement brace designed to connect the left and right front strut towers of the Toyota AE86. By reinforcing the upper suspension mounting points, the brace helps reduce chassis flex during cornering and suspension loading.
The Type OS design uses a lightweight Type 1 oval aluminum shaft paired with CUSCO's signature blue steel mounting brackets. The oval shaft provides a rigid cross-section while keeping weight low, making it well suited for street, restoration, and performance-oriented AE86 builds.
Installation is bolt-on at the front strut towers, requiring no drilling or permanent chassis modification.

Which CUSCO Front Strut Bar Is Right for You?
CUSCO Type AS
Choose the Type AS for a simple, lightweight strut tower brace. It uses a round aluminum shaft with CUSCO-blue steel mounting plates and is the most straightforward option of the three.
CUSCO Type OS
Choose the Type OS for a balance of chassis reinforcement, appearance, and price. Its lightweight oval aluminum shaft provides a more substantial cross-section than the round Type AS design while retaining CUSCO's traditional blue mounting plates.
CUSCO Type ALC-OS
Choose the Type ALC-OS for the premium option. It combines an oval aluminum shaft with a carbon-fiber outer layer and titanium-gray steel mounting plates, giving it the most distinctive construction and appearance of the three.
Quick Comparison:
Type AS: Round aluminum ā simple and lightweight
Type OS: Oval aluminum ā balanced performance and appearance
Type ALC-OS: Carbon-wrapped oval aluminum ā premium construction and styling
