Cusco Strut Bar Questions - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #70005 10 posts Started by Promasta
Does a ST202 Cusco strut bar fit on a ST204? I think I heard some guy's hit the brake fluid and another guy's hit the AC?

Also, can I put the stock brace on top of it like Magic did:
bump. need this info quickly.

Yes, without any problems
boimp. anyone seen a cusco bar over a 5sfe?
It should be fine as the raised rod is only to clear the charge cooler and throttle body.
However the rod may be pressing on the hood if you have a non GT4 hood.
I have a Cusco OS Type for a ST202 on my GT and the only thing it really gets in the way of is the A/C lines and power steering hose. It is an easy fix though I just filed down the bracket holding the A/C line so I can move it down slightly. As for the power steering hose, I moved the foam padding on the hose lower so it doesn't rub the bar. Besides these two things there aren't anything else obstructing the strut bar. By the way I don't have ABS so there are no brake lines that may or may not be in the way. Also the strut brace in the pictures is the bar for the ST205 and not ST202 (there is a difference). I hope this helps!

Tried to put a Cusco front strut bar onto my ST205 and it hits the break fluid canister. So in my case it needs adjusment's kindasad.gif But this is somthing i bought from a ST202 owner could be the reason it wondt fit.
Snapshot had to mod his hood

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
they're designed for rhd since the rhd brake fluid reservoirs are shaped differently.
