im on the cusco touring a. they work great, and go a little stiffer than the koni in adjustment. you need the adjustability no matter which shock you choose.

Do you have to remove the rear shocks to adjust them for the cusco's?
Anyone care to comment if the koni rears need to be removed to adjust?

I had yellows on my e46 m3 and ya had to remove the rears to adjust them.. pita..

I just have to remove the trunk liner(s) to adjust my rear koni's.

The Cusco's are adjustable from in the trunk. They do stick up higher than the Koni's, so the liner needs a hole or adjustment.

You don't have to remove the liner. The side sections flip up and out of the way and then you just have to pull the wheel well cover (or whatever its called) back a bit.

You can also just grab a sharp razor and cut two slices in the wheel well cover to make yourself a nice access flap.

September Fastrack looks to indicate no class changes or cross platform parts allowances.

If something that big was going to happen it would be after Nationals would it not?

Locust · 08-22-2016, 10:58 PM

Actually, reading over this, it looks like they shot it down.

Shark_Bait88 · 08-22-2016, 11:21 PM

Some of the messages (the matter looks to be addressed a couple ways in a few places) seem a little contradictory/confusing, but the overall message I'm getting from it is that they aren't allowing for BRZ owners to used the TRD parts and there won't be any changes from CS to DS.

renfield90 · 08-23-2016, 01:11 AM

Can't say I agree with all that, but from a certain point of view CS is the most popular class and there's no reason to touch it or change anything.

41/85 drivers are in twins. Yeah, not a lot of BRZs, but obviously they're not scared away.

IMO everyone who wrote letters should have waited until after nationals if they really wanted to get their point across. We won't really know what the difference is in the trims and how strong the ND is going to be until after then.

Pretty much my thoughts. I think the TRD parts are good for a very slight advantage, assuming otherwise same prep and both drivers being very good. At a local level I think there's generally enough disparity in skill level, even among the top drivers, that they won't make enough difference that BRZ drivers should stop showing up. Hell, most of the best CS drivers in both Chicago and Milwaukee region drive BRZs anyway. Haha We will see what the story is at Nationals though.

ryan t · 09-12-2016, 03:34 PM

now that nationals is over an the ND proved to be much much faster than anything else, why should we stay in CS and not move to STX? i personally want to stay in CS, but looks as though we stand no chance.
