Cusco Power Brace Rear Member Side Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86 / Scion FR-S 2013-2020
The Cusco Power Brace Rear Member Side reinforces the rear floor cross member on Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 and Scion FR-S models from 2013 to 2020. This bolt-on brace uses oval steel piping to eliminate chassis flex during hard cornering. Drivers feel immediate rear stability gains and precise steering response on twisty roads or track days.
Key Features
- Steel Oval Pipe Design: 30mm diameter pipes provide high torsional rigidity without adding excess weight
- Targeted Rear Reinforcement: Connects rear member side points to prevent twisting and improve power delivery to the rear wheels
- Bolt-On Installation: Direct fit with no cutting or drilling required using factory mounting points
- Enhanced Handling: Reduces body roll and maintains tire contact for better grip in corners
- Durable Black Anodized Finish: Resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity under racing conditions
Product Notes
- Designed exclusively for ZN6 chassis platforms including all trims
- Pair with other Cusco braces for full chassis stiffening
- Securely packaged to prevent shipping damage
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Requires basic hand tools and 30-60 minutes per side

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...
