Cusco Power Brace Rear Member - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X CZ4A (2008-2016)
The Cusco Power Brace rear member replaces the factory rear crossmember bar on Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X CZ4A models with a high-strength steel tubular brace. It increases chassis rigidity in the rear subframe to cut flex during cornering and launches. This delivers better traction suspension response and handling precision with a motorsport-style look.

- Direct OEM Replacement: Bolts directly in place of stock rear member bar with no cutting drilling or fabrication needed.

- Lightweight Design: Weighs 6-8 kg lighter and stronger than factory 10 kg stamped steel bar.
