Cusco Strut Bar Type OS Front Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86 RHD and LHD (2013-2021)
The Cusco Strut Bar Type OS Front (965 540 A) connects the front strut towers on Scion FR-S (2013-2016), Subaru BRZ (2013-2021), and Toyota 86 (2017-2021) models, including both left-hand drive and right-hand drive versions.
