For sale, Cusco front strut brace.
This is the Type 40 brace which are getting quite rare now, its name comes from the 40mm bracing bar!
This a seriously chunky brace and has none of the 'bullworker'ness' of the carbon sti version which sells for much more!
These braces retail (if and when you can find them!) for £250 ish new.
Offers @ £90 + postage.

You think this is getting rare, try finding the matching rear one - I've been looking for ages & can't get one, if you have one of those I'd be interested.

Damn good strut brace if you ask me, arguably one of the strongest ones available.
This would cost over £250 new IF you could get one.
Free bttt for Pete
Edited to say, my Cusco front brace which isnt as strong or as big cost £160 plus delivery, so this is a bargain.

Pete I think you'll find that its name does not come from 40mm bracing bar, but 40PHi grade alloy or stainless whatever it is.
Anyway, BTTTTTT.

your possibly right dan, but some cusco site i went to had them listed as 40mm so that seemed to make sense to me as its seriously chunky 
i remember watching you and fitter (well mainly fitter) struggle fitting your carbon ones, god they were nice! How many years ago was that!

A few questions before I commit myself:-
Where are you in the UK?
How much do you think postage would be?
Would the alignment need to be re-done once I have fitted the brace?
Are they easy to fit?
Do they improve handling as a lot of people reckon they cause over steer.
Cheers
