By tying the strut towers together the CUS900 540 A limits chassis twist through corners, improving turn-in sharpness and reducing understeer for a more connected steering feel on winding roads and track events. Cusco is a leading Japanese performance suspension brand with decades of motorsport heritage in the JDM performance market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCUS900 540 A front strut bar for Toyota Yaris NCP91 for improved front-end rigidity and steering response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel tube construction with machined mounting feet for precise strut tower fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces chassis flex under cornering for improved turn-in and reduced understeer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on installation to factory strut tower mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCusco motorsport-grade design and construction for street and light track use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo permanent chassis modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005-2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToyota\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYaris (NCP91)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCUS900 540 A \/ 900 540 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCusco\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront strut tower brace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Chassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToyota Yaris NCP91\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel tube brace with machined mounting feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVerify with Cusco\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x CUS900 540 A front strut bar assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCusco installation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout Cusco\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCusco is a Japanese performance suspension manufacturer renowned for their strut bars, roll cages, differentials, and motorsport accessories used in everything from street builds to JGTC and WRC competition. Their strut bars are a staple of Japanese tuning culture for chassis rigidity improvement across domestic JDM platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the CUS900 540 A?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CUS900 540 A is a Cusco front strut tower bar engineered for the Toyota Yaris NCP91 chassis. It connects the front left and right strut towers to reduce body flex under cornering and improve steering response and front-end rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes CUS900 540 A fit the GR Yaris?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. CUS900 540 A is designed for the Toyota Yaris NCP91 platform, not the GR Yaris (GXPA16). The GR Yaris requires a separate Cusco part number specific to its distinct strut tower geometry and chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the NCP91 Yaris?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NCP91 is the internal chassis code for the second-generation Toyota Yaris (Vitz) sold globally between approximately 2005 and 2012. It is the generation preceding the GR Yaris and is commonly used for grassroots circuit racing and time attack builds in Japan and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a strut bar improve handling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eA front strut bar ties the left and right strut towers together, preventing them from flexing outward independently under cornering loads. This maintains consistent suspension geometry through corners, improving turn-in precision and reducing the vague feeling from chassis flex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the CUS900 540 A require drilling or permanent modification?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The CUS900 540 A bolts directly to the existing strut tower mounting bolts on the NCP91 Yaris without drilling or permanent modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the CUS900 540 A compatible with aftermarket coilovers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CUS900 540 A mounts to the strut tower mounting points and is generally compatible with aftermarket coilovers installed on the NCP91 platform. Confirm clearance with your specific coilover brand before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the Type A or Type B Cusco strut bar?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CUS900 540 A is the Type A configuration for the Toyota Yaris NCP91 platform. Cusco uses Type A to designate the primary straight-brace design for each application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does installation take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eCUS900 540 A installs in approximately 20 to 40 minutes using basic hand tools.
