Cusco Type OS Front Strut Tower Bar – 1999-2003 Acura TL & TL Type-S
The Cusco 332540A Type OS Front Strut Tower Bar is the most popular and iconic chassis brace in the Cusco lineup, engineered specifically for the 1999-2003 Acura TL and TL Type-S (UA5 chassis). This classic tubular aluminum oval shaft design with high-polish finish provides exceptional rigidity to reduce chassis flex, sharpen steering response, and improve overall handling precision. Available in two optimized designs (pressed ribbed Type 1 or sectioned Type 2 Cusco selects the best for each application), the blue-painted end plates bolt directly to the strut towers using included hardware for a quick, no-modification install. Perfect upgrade for street, autocross, or track enthusiasts seeking that planted, connected feel.
