I have experienced both over the years. This will be the first Cusco part I have ever used, but so far they look like good parts.

Has nothing to do with the bearing. The rubber part is there on street cars for some good reasons, i.e. isolation (or decoupling?) and less stress for the monocoque. I don't know all the words in english. Sorry.
I had a solid mount at my Toyota Starlet many years ago. Vibrations and any other noises from the suspension and tires have been significantly louder inside the car. You don't need comfort in a race car and you don't like the side effects of a rubber mount in a race car, too. Thats for sure. And of course a race car usually has many bars to stiffen up the body. Cusco is known for high quality parts, i had some braces from them at my Starlet. Any part was a perfect fit and had flawless engineering. Last edited by Kongo-Otto; 06-17-2011 at 02:29 PM. |

I can only imagine getting the tools in there to adjust those with a DD with the wiper cowl and that aluminum black pan that the wiper motor sits in..
I can barely get one hand in there with a allen key to adjust my dampers on my shocks. I may pass on this mod actually, UNLESS I do end up pulling this off the streets for good any only track it. Personally I can hear any bump rattle and shimmy in my car, but if it sounds normal, I can tune it out with no problem.. I dont think my exhaust is very loud but other people do. Its normal to me.. |

You could fab up a custom adjustment tool... On the back of my RX-8 it was not possible to reach, or even see the top of the rear shock to adjust it. One of the Moton dealers came up with a cable that attached to the top of it, and we could fit it between the gaps in the body. Cut an allen wrench, glue one end into a braided steel brake line, the other in the top of your shock. Remote adjusters.

After looking at the price at oem ones 100 and these about 200 its really not that expensive figuring they will outlast oem ones. I am wondering of a machine shop can fabricate solid upper strut mounts all the coil overs already have them.

Here is another option for the underneath part: TRD upper mounts from Japan. VERY hard rubber.

How much do those run for as a alternative. I just emailed cusco and they quoted me 400 even US PLUS the cost of shipping.

TRD mounts are about $200. CUSCO mounts will be in stock soon, less than $400 but not by much.
CUSCO coilovers will also have this option as an upgrade.

Plan is to get the new engine in this weekend, then get the body back together and a new tune the week after... We tentatively plan to test the new setup on Aug 5th. Seems like a long ways off, but time is flying.

Honestly those are a pretty cool part.....price is actually not bad either....think about it we spend how much to make stereo go bump.....my sub and box were that much.
I like it will fit on OEM struts,might be a nice upgrade for a person who is building a fun car....never made any money building a car but I sure had fun doing it. We upgrade just about everything on the car suspension wise,this is just one more thing to make the car feel like it is on rails. |
