Cusco Zero-2R Coilovers for 02+ WRX
Now that the racing season is just around the corner, I’ve decided to post my Cusco Zero-2Rs for sale.
- The Zero-2Rs were installed at ~43600 miles and removed at ~48650 miles, so they have a total of only ~5050 miles with about 4-5 autocrosses. The Zero-2Rs have been on my WRX from 4/12/03 to 8/16/03, so they have not seen any snow or salt. I sprayed them with WD-40 on a regular basis to keep them clean and rust free. After examination, I found no rust on the coilovers. They are in excellent condition (see pictures below).
- Reason for selling: The Zero-2Rs are just a bit too stiff for my tastes, although, several people use them on a daily basis and love them. It’s all about personal preference. If I didn’t drive my WRX daily, I wouldn’t be selling them because the rock for autocross. Imagine zero body roll and zero nose-dive. Simply amazing… The Zero-2Rs were also a little noisy. A popping sound generated at speeds under 5-10mph. At any speed above 5-10mph, the coilovers were totally silent. After removing the coilovers from the vehicle, I noticed that the camber plate adjustment bolts had made contact with the metal spring perch below them. I would suggest that the buyer install shorter bolts or cut down the current ones to avoid this noise.
The Zero-2Rs include the following
- Front and rear 5 way rebound adjustable dampers and 2-way height adjustment
- 7kg/mm & 5kg/mm springs assembled to struts
- Front camber plates
- Rear fixed plates
- 6kg/mm & 4kg/mm springs (I never used these, but after reading a few threads, I found out that these have the smaller diameter from the previous Zero-2R version. You should be able to swap these for the larger diameter current version via Gruppe-S.)
- Allen wrench for camber adjustment (After snapping off one of the original bolts on the camber plates, I replaced all of them with stronger bolts. They are Allen heads, but they are a size smaller so the included Allen wrench does not fit. You’ll just need to pick up a small wrench from your local tool shop.)
- Spanner wrenches for adjusting ride height and spring pre-load
- Original instructions and documentation
- Original unused Zero-2R stickers
- Damping adjustment tool
- I originally paid $2000 for the Zero-2Rs. I’m asking for $1625 + shipping and feel that this is a reasonable offer considering their excellent condition.

CUSCO makes about 4 diff diameter springs. Also, they have diff lengh springs as well as spring rates.
Ordering "custom" springs is not as easy as you may think. Custom accessories (dustboots, retainers, bumpstops, perches) must also be considered. Not all shops have access to these parts as well as the info on what exactly is needed.

As far as making sure you get the correct diameter and correct length, wouldn't just be as simple as measuring the 7/5 springs that are already installed? As long as the springs have the same internal diameter and length, there is no need for additional hardware. With the same internal diameter and length, the spring rate will then depend on the diameter of the metal used to make the spring and the number of wounds.
