Raffi Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 I have been reading on www.Japanparts.com about Cusco strut bars for the EP9.And i found these 2:And there was some text attached, that says this.The Carbon one:Type CB/ FRONT40mm Diameter carbon shaft strut bar. Shaft: Carbon fiber Section shape: Round. Plate: Steel in titanium color. Only for Turbo models.And the other one:Type AS/ FRONTAluminum shaft strut bar. Shaft: Aluminum. Section shape: round. Plate: Steel painted in blue. Bolt-on type. Exchange genuine bar. Impossible to equip on NA.And I was thinking, how come it cant be mounted in a N/A starlet, Whats the difference?I thought that the Turbo (Glanza) and the N/A Starlet, are the same (almost). Quote
Jozinobi Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 Well I definitely seen the AS mounted to a few SR's before, there is no reason why the CB and AS won't fit out n/a starlets and I am sure some people can confirm that who have had them before or still do. Its like saying the oem glanza brace is for glanza only!I don't think they got their facts right...There is also the OS version which is a thicker bar than the AS.Have fun checking this page out!Cusco Strut BracesPeace Out Joz Quote
Blue Icarian Wings Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 I'm sure I've seen them on envy performance and camskill for both, it could be talking about the difference between ep82 and ep91, but thats still not a lot of difference, maybe they got their front and back mixed up? Quote
klyfax Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 Front bars match on N/A and Turbo models, on EP71, EP82 and EP91. But the back bar from the glanza doesn't fit to a N/A car! I have tryed! The Glanza Chassie is higher at the back...Good luck! Quote

miracle411 Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 I think they might be hard to fit to the N/A model becuase of the fuel filter, its in a really awkward place, i reckon its definately possible with a tweak of the fuel filter bracket. Quote
klyfax Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 the rear ones do fit mate as i had one on my n/a and same for the front!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Pic then!!! I what to see!!! Quote

The 2 bolts that hold the damper at the top is opposed from ours. Quote
starletboy Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 best pics ive got now of it and as i dont have the car anymore its the best your gettin so theres one off the rear one and the front one for ya!!!!! Quote
klyfax Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Thats good enough, but no one of those is original Toyota Strut Bar. After the weekend I can get a pic of the originals, as I have them both...Is it the same strut bar at front and back? Quote
scutch0 Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 yeah, i think klyfax meant the glanza factory rear strut brace. Quote
klyfax Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 yeah, i think klyfax meant the glanza factory rear strut brace.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah, thats correct. Quote
lobotomy Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 The toyota 3point design actually works better... but suppose the cusco one would be better than nothing Quote
starletboy Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 ah ok mate sorry thought you meant cusco ones as the topic says cusco braces!!! yeah the braces are the same type front and rear!!!! Quote
scutch0 Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 no, it wont, i think the glanzas have a raised part of the floor for the centre of the brace to attach to. Quote
klyfax Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 no, it wont, i think the glanzas have a raised part of the floor for the centre of the brace to attach to.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah the glanzas floor is raised. But the Cusco strut bar does not fit at the rear. Quote
