yes i would have said cusco.

Subframes arent they. Front and rear.

You can get them cheap if you look, but think they are 100+. Not entirely sure though

ok cheers, yeah the blue braces. i'll take them off then and check if they are genuine cusco, the car did have zerosport stickers / gearlever etc. so it maybe zerosports.

either way its seems useful, so may be good for me

hi guys

got them off the car the other day

and you were right, they are cusco! the stickers were still on, slightly peeling off.

so what do these actually do? and how much are they worth?



ps. wow they are lightweight!

Strut braces for the bottom of the suspension connects the control arms and reduces chassis flexing

I've seen the top item in your piccy going for £85+

I have the same Cusco lower H brace on the front of mine. It's a pain in the **** when it comes to dumping the gear box oil!

Hi All,

I'm looking for a bottom front strut brace and i've found one but its not a H bar which is what you find on eBay (usually pink), its just a single bar in blue, advises it fits a 2000 classic, and it looks like it fits where the front of the H bar goes?

Anyone know what this is or pro's and cons?

Thanks
