Product Description

Keep your classic Subaru on the road with SUMO Front Replacement Struts, developed for second-generation Subaru BRAT and Brumby vehicles.

Original suspension components on these vehicles are often decades past their intended service life. Finding quality replacement struts has become increasingly difficult, leaving many owners with worn suspension components and limited repair options.

SUMO is working to provide an affordable, dependable replacement solution that helps owners maintain and restore their vehicles without unnecessary modifications.

These front replacement struts are designed for use with compatible original-style springs, upper mounts, and associated suspension components.

This initial offering includes the front struts only. We are actively working to source and develop additional suspension components, including springs, upper mounts, and eventually complete ready-to-install assemblies.

At just $99.95 per pair, these struts provide an affordable replacement option for owners looking to keep their BRAT or Brumby on the road.

Key Features

• Front replacement struts for second-generation Subaru BRAT / Brumby applications
• Sold as a matched left- and right-front pair
• Designed for use with compatible original-style coil springs and upper mounting components
• Intended to restore proper suspension damping and improve ride control when replacing worn struts
• Suitable for original-style suspension repairs and restoration projects
• Replacement option for increasingly difficult-to-source original suspension components

* Additional suspension components currently under development

First Production Run – Limited Availability

Our initial U.S. production allocation is limited to 30 sets.

Replacement suspension components for these classic Subarus have become increasingly difficult to source, and we understand the importance of making these parts available again.

SUMO has committed to an initial production run, with additional manufacturing possible as demand develops.

Future production will be subject to manufacturing schedules and minimum production quantities.

If you've been searching for replacement front struts for your BRAT or Brumby, we encourage you to contact us early to secure your place in the initial allocation.

PRICE: $129.95 PER PAIR
