cusco os or D shape front strut bar?

[Fenvy]

yah, what's the difference other than it looks different? is it made out of steel or alunmiunm?

[Fenvy]

bump, does anyone know the difference other than the looks?

ppl say go w/ the OS b/c its more oval, so you get more surface area or something like that. i dont know the technical part of it, but go w/ OS

but then ppl also say that a strut bar is just a strut bar. I have a pilot one and my friend has a cusco os one, they feel about the same to me. but thats just my opinion

is there a 3 point bar or anything? i like carbing bars myself.

[whiterps13]

yes there is a triangle bar for the rear, which connects the strut mounts and a point on the floor. the main draw back is the fact that you have to drill into your metal floor, which we all know will rust if given some time....

i have the OS up front. Get it.

[Fenvy]

I can only get the D for cheap, is that good enough?

[240SXedUp]

Elipses are stronger than the other shapes. So oval and circular bars are the strongest. The OS is good because of the width and thickness of the bar. Cusco is a good company. If i didnt get an oval bar id get the D shape, but the OS is proven to be better. Dont listen to what people say, not all strut bars are the same. They do the same thing but that doesnt mean that the are built with the same quality. If that was true ebay would put cusco and JIC out of business

Yes! OMG finally someone thats seen the light! Quality over quantity folks.

I got the d shaped cusco bar. Works great, I originally ordered the OS but it was out of stock so I went with the D shaped. Got a call from Enjuku about it and they said the D shaped bar is stiffer/stronger. So I went with that. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either the OS or the D. Just don't get the cheap crap from ebay.

I thought cusco would be made out of steel but it's made out of alunmiunm, oh wait I got it mixed up with carbing. Now that's some crazy strut bar but usually is 200$+ a piece

yeah but their strut bars are nice. i really like their stuff. i believe i'll be gettin a set of these for my 240 as well.

although i was lookin around for strut bars for the rear and i found some pretty interesting stuff. bars that line the whole trunk area and stuff. i dont remember where i was looking. but dang.... it looked crazy.

[Fenvy]

are you talking about this? drilling is required....
