General opinion of Cusco range of products
 
I wanted to ask what the general opinion is of the Cusco product range for the BRZ/86/FRS.

Cusco seem to be the only company that makes almost every mod available, and for me, having the majority of my aftermarket parts manufactured by the same company is very appealing, maybe even a little OCD.

What is the forums opinion of the brands reputation and the quality of its range?

I mean they make quality products but they are overpriced and they take advantage of their branding to over charge people and make things that people don't need. But their core products are quality I feel if you like paying extra for blue parts.

^ I was gonna say the same to an extent. On my old S14, I had:

Cusco front/rear sway bars
Cusco front/rear strut bars
Cusco Differential
Cusco RUCAs, toe links, traction links, tension rods
Also had some additional chassis bracing

I ran HKS Hipermax coilovers, so I have no experience with Cusco coilover systems.

While the parts are expensive, I also NEVER had any of those components fail after 4 years of track duty. For me, that shows the worth and quality of their products. Now there are other companies out that offer similar quality products and, in some cases, are cheaper than Cusco. But, Cusco has been around for years and years-they know what they're doing.

I'd be more than happy to build my entire suspension on my FR-S completely off of Cusco products again.

I think with most popular brand names you know you are getting quality but the rest of the price is more "peice of mind". Are there cheaper quality products? Of course but they don't have the bling bling appeal sometimes.

I'm probably going with Cusco sway, strut, brace components again. Had them on all my other projects. Reliability, dependability, expensive compared to the competition but you are getting peace of mind and excellent design. Hell I'll probably get the battery tie to match the strut tower bar, why not?

You are paying for a name with Cusco. But with like all other things, they can charge you for the name for a reason
