Strut Brace Assistance

Hi there all,

I've just bought myself a rear Cusco Strut Brace for 60 squids and I'm looking to purchase the front version to match. TDI are offering the different Cusco braces but I'm struggling to understand the various terminology in the title descriptions.

Here is the link to the page containing the strut braces:

This is the rear Cusco brace I've just got:

I'm wanting the front version with the blue turret clamps to match. The prices are all different as well, so there must be a hell of a difference or something?

Thanks for the help,

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

The differences are to do with the construction material.

Please email me at mark@tdi-plc.com

Thanks :)

Anyone had any experience with the Cusco units? re: fitment over regular engine (no modifications) or with an induction kit? Stability etc?

not with Cusco, but the katayama Brace is really sweet.

If you want the matching set then i'm sure u'll have no problem at all with Cusco, they're a reputable manufacturer :)

I'm sure Bazza got the Cusco to fit, with a little work.

I have cusco front and rear, oval type.

rear goes on fine.

front with standard airbox mine resonated on the airbox so i made up some 3mm spacer shimms to go onto the suspension top mount bits.

when i got my prolex induction kit it was a little higher so it hit the induction kit again, with this i modified the strut bar and cut a small section out but without cutting into the middle lip of the strut bar (to keep its strength)

Don't really notice any difference with the strut bars, steering maybe a little crisper than without the bar.

Next time i think i will spend my money on ARB's

Bazza has the induction kit ;) and yes the Cusco has needed a slight modification to fit with the induction kit

correct i had the cusco with the air box fitted

slight modification to the bar and struts to make it fit

clearance is a problem on the intake pipe not so much the airbox

If anyone decides to sell their Cusco front strut bar as the picture above and below shows then please let me know ;)

This is the one I'm after.
