Cusco Front Bar

[jcbebechulo]

Hello all,

I have an 04 TSX and i already installed the H & R Rear Sway Bar(22mm).....
I am looking to get the Cusco Front Strut Bar.
I have been searching the forum, but can't seem to get my answers.

1. Does the Bar automatically come with the ends blue?
2. What would be the best site to get this bar from?
3. After getting the bar, is there anything I should know? (problems with install)

Thanks in advance to all that reply

1. Yes, the ends come standard in Cusco Blue.

2. I know AJR had a special on the cusco strut bar before, but I don't know if it is still on sale. If not, i'm sure their prices are still very good. heeltoeauto.com also has them for a good price.. i say if you can get it for under $190 shipped, it is a good deal.

3. When you install it, you will notice that the AC line on the passenger side of the engine bay will get in the way, and not let the cusco bar sit all the way in.. the best way to get around this is just wrap the AC line in something like electric tape + foam to protect it, and then use some force to push the AC line down, then get the Cusco bar bolted into it's mount, then after that, just tighten the bolts and your finished. Don't forget to tighten all the bolts in the end, including the one on the ends of the polished metal bar.

Next time you can try to use the Search button, as all the info can be found.

Thanks for the quick response.

Also, one more thing.
Does this bar replace the the stock one or does it go over like the Neuspeed?

Due to the mounting points of that Cusco bar, you may run into complications if you decide to install the Ingalls ETD.

[04whitetsx]

just make sure you push it hard when u install it. I cover the AC line with a Rubber thing over it just to protect.

NO..

I don't know what exactly your answer means....

[04whitetsx]

goes over

[VorteC]

no, it doesnt replace stock one.. the stock one is an ass to remove cuz its attached to everything. it simply goes over it.

Usually when you refer someone to some place, a website or phone number goes a long way ;-)

that sucks. i have the ingalls ETD pre-ordered. was thinking about the strut bar, but if it's between the two, i think the former seems like it would have more of a benefit.

Yeah, better to get the ETD first, then wait for confirmation of compatibility with the Cusco strut bar. A couple of those in the pre-order have the Cusco bar and I'm sure they'll post whether or not they will both fit.

[audioserf]

I have the Cusco bar and am on the list for the Ingalls ETD. Will advise when I know what the deal is. I'm definitely hoping both fit though, otherwise I may have to switch to a Neuspeed.

[jcbebechulo]

hey,

What is Ingalls ETD? What does it do exactly for the vehicle?
