Cusco Front and Rear Strut Braces
 
Has anyone had to trim rubber off the top mounts in the front to make these fit? I want to buy some for Christmas but I don't want to screw anything up. Also, how much do you have to bend the a/c line to make the front one fit?

i didnt need to trim the rubber, the ac line can be moved to the bottom screw and will clear the bar.

did you notice an improvement in handling after the install?

how do i remove the back seats of the sedan to install the reat strut?? can anyone show me pics or detailed instructions?

i removed half of the back seats which is the bottom part which is easy. but how come the back seats i can only unbolt the bottom and the top is like innvicible... i cant find any bolts that hold the top of the back seats in.. please i need help badly.

thanks

p.s. what does ps mean?

ps i do need to remove the back seats completely before i can get to the rear strut mounts correct???

after you remove the bolts on the bottom of the seatback, you should be able to just lift up and back (towards teh rear of the car)on the seatback and it will come out, there are hooks on the top no bolts..

yes you have to remove the backseats... :(

hmmmm so after the 4 bolts just move the back half of the seat in an upward motion...? i c ... i didnt try that i kept tryin to pull outward... thanks a lot man ill give it a try. appreciate it a lot buddy

You will not need to trim anything.

They will fit and work great.

Let me know if you want to buy them, I can get them for you.

Look at my review here: [url]https://www.i-club.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=411&sort=1&cat=16&page=1[/url]

Why bend anything! that's just poor engineering as far as im concerned and i've experienced the cusco FSTB too. On the other hand i have a Cusco OS Rear STB and love that.

cusco is the isht.... in nearly everything they make (IMHO)
