Hi Guys, due to the raging success of my last groupbuy (HKS Hiper Systems), your cars must now be pushing out stupid power figures, this in turn means that you need to upgrade you suspension components!

I have organised a rather sexy groupbuy on the fantastic Cusco kit.

We have available:

CUSCO front strut brace, annodised blue.
CUSCO rear strut brace, annodised blue.
CUSCO 4 point lower brace, annodised blue.

I do not have firm prices as yet, but as I am sure you are aware, I can wrangle us a fantastic deal

Drop me an EMAIL if you want in, this is not a stupidly expensive mod, but a very worthwhile one.

Lets upgrade you carpark cred a little more and spread a little sunshine in your enging bay

Lets make this a big one lads (and ladies). I will have prices soon.

Cheers

Paul

-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, for sake of clarity.

-----------------------------------

OPTION 1: Front Cusco Tower (strut) Brace: £85+vat

OPTION 2: Front Cusco Lower Brace: £115+vat

OPTION 3: Rear Cusco Tower (strut) Brace: £85+vat

OPTION 4: Rear Cusco Lower Brace: £60+vat

-----------------------------------

Please mail me if you want in (and have not contacted me already). This has just been extended over the weekend so we have a little more time, I will wrap it up on Monday afternoon.

If you do want to be a part of this, drop me a mail with the options you want, your name, car details and telephone number.

I will not have much time over the weekend to reply to questions.

Cheers guys, vvvvvvv good response so far.

Paul

One thing to be aware of is to make sure your insurance company knows you've fitted a strut brace, as it can increase the damage caused in the event of a crash.

Hi Paul,

I'm interested in a rear strut brace, do you know if they fit the "classic" shape 5-door, with the rear seats upright?

cheers,
Dave

dela - I believe the standard rear fits 4 or 5 dr.. but also think there is an improved one that has a V shaped strut that makes contact with the boot floor pan/chasis to increase rigidity..

Some one may be able to confirm that... or denie it...

Alex

EDIT COS I MEANT TO SAY PRE '01 MODELS!

I'm not sure whether you are commenting on the MY01+ or the "classic shape".

For the MY01+ the rear strut bars are different between the 4 door and the 5 door, partly due to the different track on the WRX 4 door, and partly because of the difference in height of mounting the bar. IIRC only the 4 door has the option of the V brace.

Unfortunately I do not know about the older models.

Cheers

Had a surf around, and found the above image of a rear, 2 point brace from the following site


http://www.rcdevelopments.com/manufacturers/cusco/cusco-2r.html


Looking at the chassis no. descriptions, it appears the good DrEvil is right, they fit wagons as well

cheers,

Question

POC
You do some fantastic deals. May I suggest another for the future :- DEFI gauges with if poss Scooby Mania centre pod.
New car comes in March and I`m serious abt this mod, but the defi gauges although the best are expensive so i`m sure there would be some interest as a lot of people prefer these gauges but the price puts them off.
Regards
Bob

Right, not sure what is going on here..... I have a list of over 30 people that are interested...

Only a handful of people have confirmed, is there a problem with the prices??? If so, let me know now and there may be something I can do with them (like sell a bo11ock to get them down even further!) .

Come on you lot, these deals dont come along every day, snap em up while you still have the chance!

Paul
