Which front strut tower brace I should go with.... the stock CF Sti brace, or the Cusco? I have both on hand, but don't know which to use. I already have a Cusco installed in the rear, so there is the issue of uniformity. Anyways, whatever one I don't use will be sold. Just wanted some opinions and possibly some technical advice on which one would be better performance-wise. Thanks.

 

Both will probably function similar to each other. The CF sti should be lighter though. Not sure if you'll run into the problem I had if you went with the Cusco bar being that you have adjust the AC lines a bit to have the bar fit without rubbing. The CF sti should go right on without any adjustments to the ac lines.

 

What car do you have? The CF/Ti brace only fits GC8 models because of intercooler fitment issues.

 

I have the CF installed already, and it came with my 98 STi Type-R. I already had the front and rear Cuscos installed on my other WRX (also a GC8) swapped them to this car. I just wanted to know which is better, because I was thinking about installing the Cusco (since the rear one is Cusco) and selling the CF one to buy more go-fast parts later.

 

install the cusco...sell the CF STi because it's worth more and both do the same thing to the car..
