CUSCO Strut Brace Type OS (Front) for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Tie the front suspension towers together to reduce flex, sharpening steering feedback, improving mid-corner stability, and helping tyres maintain a more consistent contact patch.

$320

CUSCO’s Type OS front strut brace is a track-proven chassis reinforcement designed specifically for Mazda RX8 Series 1 & Series 2 models (2003–2012), adding noticeably increased front-end rigidity that sharpens steering precision and cornering stability without excessive weight.

Reduces body flex across the front suspension towers, allowing the suspension to work more consistently
Improves turn-in and mid-corner stability, giving the front end a more planted, predictable feel
Lightweight yet rigid aluminium construction balances strength with minimal weight gain
Works in harmony with the matching rear brace such as the CUSCO Rear Strut Brace Type OS for balanced chassis tuning
Enhances feedback through the steering wheel, making small inputs easier to feel and control

You will feel a tighter, more responsive front end, with the car tracking more accurately through corners and communicating grip levels more clearly, especially during spirited driving in both Series 1 (2003–2008) and Series 2 (2009–2012) cars.

For even greater chassis control, combine this brace with the ODULA Traction Up Frame (TUF) and the AUTOEXE Lower Arm Bar (Front) to reinforce key suspension pick-up points.
