Ady Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Anyone bother with a rear strut? Just baught a front cusco one, and have seen a rear one. Dont know if its worth it, as you cant see this. Do they do much having one on the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have one waiting to go onto the car... I believe that on standard road driving, you would probably not see much difference, however on things like track days, etc you should see quite a difference.

Nic Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have a carbon fibre Cusco rear strut on my car, it does stiffen things up a little, I noticed a reduction is flex at the rear when going over speed bumps on a slight angle. If you do get one I'd recommend the Carbing rear brace, as it also bolts to the central cross member. If you would like prices just let me know. http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/9499/p3150092tz6.jpg http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/1822/p3310126fu8.jpg http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/1295/p3310127nj1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Thanks for the reply lads. I think for the use (hardly none) its not worth having. I went for a front one to look shiny. Only done 1000 miles in my sup since gettin her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
