You guys think this cusco stuff will definitely benefit? referring to all the braces, not coilovers.
The braces will help for sure. It does on all the other cars they get put on. Cusco doesn't make products that don't benefit a cars performance

I think its great to see Subaru and Toyota working in advance to build this market up. They have done a great job so far. Shows where their target customer is. Big change in direction for sure!

Cusco coilovers are crazy stiff.

I can't wait to see what Myles and Clint are going to do with this platform.

agreed, had to get rid of the zero2r,s even on the softest setting on bumpy twistys the car was riding on the spring, felt like it could loose it at any moment, now I run rce black/ohlin fp and quite a few other goodies. the cusco coilovers were amazing on butter smooth pavement but majorly detrimental everywhere else and down right awful.

The whole problem with the majority of coil over systems as they were designed with European or Japanese race tracks. Which are years ahead of or racetracks and will never be like the roads in California.

Custom valving and proper springs is always best when buying. Saves your kidneys in the long run.

I love the Ohlins stuff. I almost put flags on my car. But I got the Motons at a good price. So those are going on soon.

Is it bad that I think the suspension on the BRZ is the same as '08+ WRX? I wouldn't be surprised if the struts/shocks are a direct replacement. So in theory WRX coilovers will fit the BRZ. But since the BRZ is lighter, you'd probably want some softer springs.


Another thought... If it is the same and people figure that out. A lot of BRZs will be instantly slammed.
