Overview:

The Cusco Front Lower Adjustable Control Arms are precision-engineered suspension components designed specifically for the 2013 and newer Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, Toyota 86, and Toyota GR86 models equipped with the FA20 engine. These control arms replace the factory lower arms to provide enhanced front track width and adjustable negative camber settings, delivering improved handling and tire contact for both street and track use.

Ideal for enthusiasts seeking superior cornering performance, these adjustable arms allow for fine-tuning of suspension geometry after lowering the vehicle, ensuring optimal tire wear and steering response. Cusco’s reputation for quality and innovation in the tuner community makes these control arms a trusted upgrade for serious drivers.

Key Features:

Designed to elevate your vehicle’s front suspension capabilities, the Cusco Front Lower Adjustable Control Arms offer:

• High-strength steel pipe construction capable of withstanding the stresses from racing compound tires.
• Extended lower arm length to increase front track width, enhancing cornering stability and steering precision.
• Adjustable negative camber settings with up to three steps: 0mm, +5mm, and +10mm; note +15mm adjustment is not compatible with stock tie rod ends.
• Improved tire contact patches for better grip and even tire wear during aggressive driving.
• Maintains proper kingpin offset and scrub radius, unlike simple wheel offset modifications, preserving steering feel and geometry.
• Compatible with Cusco’s adjustable pillow upper mounts for further camber customization.
• Hard rubber bushings that reduce unwanted alignment changes and provide precise steering feedback.
• Direct OEM replacement design for straightforward installation without modifications.

Construction & Design:

Cusco utilizes high-strength steel tubing in the construction of these front lower control arms, ensuring durability and resistance to the rigors of spirited driving and track conditions. The extended arm length is carefully engineered to widen the front track without negatively impacting suspension geometry. Hard rubber bushings replace softer OEM components to minimize deflection and maintain consistent alignment settings, resulting in sharper steering response and improved handling precision.

The adjustable camber feature is integrated seamlessly, allowing drivers to dial in suspension settings to suit lowered ride heights or specific track conditions. The design also preserves critical suspension parameters such as kingpin offset and scrub radius, which are essential for maintaining predictable and stable steering behavior.

Installation & Fitment:

These control arms are a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory front lower arms on 2013–2023 Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, Toyota 86, and Toyota GR86 models. Installation typically requires about one hour and does not necessitate any special modifications. It is important to note that the +15mm camber adjustment setting cannot be used if the vehicle retains the stock tie rod ends, as sufficient thread engagement is required for safe installation.

After installation, a professional alignment is recommended to optimize suspension geometry and ensure maximum performance benefits.
