Cusco quality is very good.

I have a full set of Cusco braces
Only problem I have found is the paint on the front brace ends has flaked off in places (probably due to me putting tools on them and chipping it though)

Cheers Dyney

Would you say that the Japan Parts prices are okay?

I take it that the paint flaking hasn't Interfered with the performance

Thanks

Japanparts prices are ok.It's worth emailing Simon Lau at www.stiracing.com as he might be able to source you one and his service is excellent!!
How do the prices compare on there to say JW Racing who I think also stock Cusco braces?

All depends on mounting points

Some rear ones bolt to suspension, thus not stopping movement

I have bought a couple of bits from Japanpart, prices always look good. Be aware though that you may (not always, but may) be charged import duty via the courier when the package is delivered. Happened to me last time and this made the items no cheaper than UK price.
