Cusco Trailing Rod Rear Adjustable Pillowball for Subaru Impreza STI GRB/GVB & Legacy BR9/BM9 2008-2014
Cusco rear trailing rod delivers adjustable pillowball ends for exact rear toe control on Subaru Impreza WRX STI GRB hatchback GVB sedan and Legacy BR9 sedan BM9 wagon chassis from 2008-2014. This bolt-on upgrade swaps OEM bushings for spherical bearings to cut deflection and boost turn-in precision under hard cornering. Drivers gain direct feedback and stability for street or track demands.

- Bolt-On Fitment: Aligns with OEM points on GRB GVB BR9 BM9 chassis without cutting or welding
- Anodized Aluminum Ends: Resist corrosion in wet or salted roads while housing pillowballs for lasting performance
