Cusco Type OS Strut Braces

[Gunn79]

Can anyone confirm if the Cusco Type OS Front Strut Brace fits a CTR with air-con without having to move or modify anything in the engine bay??

I have had an email from Performance Solution suggesting that its a direct fit for all EP3 models. Just want to confirm this.

Also does anyone have pics of one fitted, or has one and can give a review??

I am considering one over the J's Racing item, as the Cusco looks lighter and point to point for better stiffness.

Also soes anyone have the rear upper brace as well.

Price I was quoted if anyone is interested;

Cusco Type OS Front £121.53+VAT
Cusco Type OS Rear £121.53+VAT

10% off above once we verify your member status

J's and Cusco etc will have to come from Japan aim 3 weeks

Delivery is £10.00+VAT

Cheers.

Cheers for that link - I saw a copy of that post on CTRO. I definitely like the look of them.

The front strut brace is preferable to me over the J's version as it does not require you to fit the air-con pipe through the brace mount and push the pipe against the engine block. And as I dont have a Gruppe M there are no worries about fitment and clearance.

Gonna order front and rear today from Performance Solution I think.

If you hold on a couple of hours I'll see if Sumo can add this to the Group Buy on the ITR forum, in which case we might be able to get them for 15% off.

Will do - Let me know the outcome

Yes as you can see from my thread the cusco requires no air-con or reseviour mods. You are right the front brace will not allow fitting of GruppeM. The rear strut is a straight swap though.

Still waiting on Sumo to get back to me... :roll:

Gunn, still not heard from Sumo.

This isn't me being slack, it's them not replying.

Might order one from performance solution instead.
