Construction & Design

The Cusco Pillowball Front Lower Arm Bushing Kit features a robust construction that combines high-precision pillow balls with a durable rubber boot system. The pillow balls are machined from high-quality steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant coating, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. The rubber boots serve as a protective barrier against dirt and moisture, preventing premature wear of the pillow balls.

The design emphasizes a direct transfer of suspension forces, minimizing unwanted movement and flex that can compromise handling. The kit is engineered with precision CAD development to ensure perfect fitment and alignment, maintaining the integrity of your vehicle's suspension geometry. The use of high-grade materials and meticulous manufacturing processes results in a component that withstands the stresses of aggressive driving while providing a noticeable improvement in steering response and stability.

Performance & Sound

Upgrading to Cusco pillowball bushings enhances your vehicle's suspension performance by providing a more rigid and responsive connection between components. This translates into improved steering precision, better cornering stability, and more predictable handling characteristics. While the upgrade does not significantly alter the sound of your vehicle, some users may notice a slightly firmer ride feel due to the increased suspension stiffness. Overall, this kit is designed to optimize your Subaru Impreza WRX's handling capabilities without sacrificing everyday comfort.
