Cusco Lower Arm Bar Type II Front GH GRB GVB Impreza WRX/STi (Turbo ONLY) NOT W/VER 1 2008-2014
Cusco Lower Arm Bar Type II Front (692 477 A) strengthens lower control arms on 2008-2014 Subaru Impreza WRX and STI turbo models in GH GRB GVB chassis. This bolt-on brace reduces flex during cornering for sharper steering response and better front-end grip. Ideal for track or street driving where chassis rigidity delivers precise handling.
Key Features
- Steel Pipe Construction: High-tensile steel tubing provides rigid reinforcement to lower arms preventing distortion under load
- Type II Design: Cylindrical φ25mm pipe shape delivers higher torsional strength compared to flat bar versions
- Bolt-On Installation: Direct fit using factory mounting points no welding or modifications required
- Chassis Reinforcement: Minimizes lower arm movement for precise handling and reduced understeer
- Durable Finish: Zinc phosphate coating resists corrosion for long-term performance
Product Notes
- Turbocharged engines only. Non-turbo models not compatible
- Not for use with Version 1 Lower Arm Bar due to interference
- Inspect bushings during install for optimal performance
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Bolt-on process takes 30-60 minutes with basic tools
- Compatible with OEM lower control arms and aftermarket sway bars

Chassis Bracing
Chassis bracing reduces structural flex in unibody and body-on-frame vehicles, improving handling precision, steering response, and suspension geometry consistency under cornering loads. Front strut braces, rear chassis braces, and underbody reinforcement kits all target different flex points depending on the vehicle and build goals. Popular Upgrades The most popular chassis bracing upgrades include front upper strut tower bars for reduced front-end flex, rear lower chassis braces for improved rear subframe rigidity, underbody X-braces and torque boxes for full chassis stiffening, and sway bar end link braces for more predictable corner entry behavior. Many enthusiasts pair front and rear bracing for the greatest improvement in overall chassis feel. What does chassis bracing actually do for handling? Chassis flex causes subtle but measurable changes in suspension geometry during cornering and acceleration. Reducing flex with bracing keeps the suspension working as designed, which tr...

Suspension
Aftermarket suspension systems improve handling, ride quality, and ride height adjustment beyond what the factory suspension provides. From lowering springs and coilover kits for sport handling to lift kits and leveling kits for truck and SUV off-road capability, quality suspension components transform how a vehicle rides and handles. Popular Suspension Upgrades Popular suspension upgrades include coilover kits for adjustable ride height and damping, sport lowering springs for improved handling and reduced body roll, performance shock absorbers and strut assemblies, sway bar and end link upgrade kits, subframe brace kits, and complete suspension packages for lifted trucks and off-road SUVs. Alignment kits including camber bolts and camber arms are also frequently ordered after ride height changes. What is the difference between coilovers and lowering springs? Coilovers are complete shock and spring assemblies with adjustable ride height set by threading the spring perch on the shock...
