Cusco upper strut bar

Got the Cusco upper strut bar Friday and had it on since then. Initial impressions? Well after hitting some mini-twisities, it seems that in general any upper strut bar does actually help. I felt somewhere between a 10%-15% change in stiffness. I was able to take freeway entrances (the nice ones that twists around) at a faster speed with higher control. So definite improvement in entrance speed. Unfortunately, coming out of the turn, I still can't come out as fast...hopefully the CT sways will fix that ...and maybe some better gripping tires. The Cusco bar is from blxmjx.

Looks good, and you can even use the stock bar with it! That is a plus!!

beautiful...

The CT sways made a huge difference even though I'm running a stock strut bar.

To my knowledge, Cusco's color is the blue and silver or polished. I ordered this from blxmjx for $165 shipped. To my knowledge, Cusco doesn't have a website I don't think.

I put the Neuspeed on this weekend and noticed similar behavior. Mine may have been a more drastic imporvement since my stock strut bar needed to be tightened. The bolts where very loose, like over a full turn each bolt.

Very nice! I'm glad you like it. I'm waiting my tax return so I can buy the CT bar.
