where can i get a cusco bar strut bar? i wanna order one

 

hahahaha! (evil laugh) i got mine from the Home land (japan), you might be able to contact Dave bristol aka JDM_DOHC_SIR on here

 

Nice howto.

Looking at the bolts that this is attached to, they look like bodywork bolts. It's hard to believe they'd be substantial enough to take any significant loads.

I'd have thought there would have been beefier mountings, based on the factory strut brace I had in my corolla, which from memory had two 14mm bolts at that centre position, and connected directly to the strut mounting bolts. I guess the Corolla was starting from a lower base in terms of strength and flexibility, but still.

This one doesn't connect to the struts but to the bodywork nearby, and to a thin bit of sheet metal under the windscreen.

Still, if it improves the steering...

 

I want some of these so bad.

 

wish i could help you guys out but the ultra racing one doesnt look like it would fit because of the brake resevior

 

These cost about 9,000 PHP from I come from.

I agree w/ rosswond on the design. That's why I asked if it was really just one bolt on each side (which it is). Kinda dissapointed with Cusco on this piece but heck I'm still getting it.

I tracked my car last weekend bone stock with only 400+ kms on the odo. Next trackday is coming near end of the month. I'll post feedbacks on it then.

 

^ how'd it do on the track stock?

 

When i put this front strut bar on it made a night and day difference. I could hang turns at way faster speeds with the bar then without it.and that little blue bar in the middle is also connected to the car underneath the cowl panal. And thats not body panals that its bolted to it's part of the chassi . Do you guys really think that CUSCO is going to put out a cheap little strut bar or do you think that they know what they're doing, and where to place the bar to have the most structural rigidity. here is a better pic of the center bracket peice



the center peice is also bolted to the chassi, So it is a 3 point bar that will hold up to the LOAD you give it.

 

Great pic!

So the center piece really is bolted on to the strut! It wasn't obvious in the previous pics.

Thanks thanks I so look forward to mine on Saturday!

 

I Promise you will absolutly LOVE it. the rear didn't make that much of a difference but the front did.

Nice Job!!...

 

Looks great, ill be getting one in the near future.

How come the picture of the bar out of the car is blue but the one in your car is polished?

 

The blue is a plastic coating that comes on the bar when it is new... ( you pull it off )..

 

for those that are interested in a rear strut bar i can get them from ULTRA RACING
along with other bars as well

PM me for more info in interested

cusco bar looks awesome

 

Doh! Lol sorry for the dumb question. I like the blue look though. :shrug:

 

where can i get one?

 

looks nice but im leaning more toward a one-piece front strut bar.

i dont mean to thread jack but does CARBING make one for the GE models yet?
