Anyone Know What Strut Brace This Is?
Hi guys,
I bought my JDM S2000 a few months back and failed to notice this strut brace fitted to it.
Anyone know what it is, the lad who I bought it from said that apparantaly the mods fitted to teh car came accross the water with it, so its possibly Jap.
Its carbon fibre from what I can tell, its super light and hollow. I've not removed it, but it seems to be light by the sound it makes, if you know what I mean.
Its more that likley something cheap and nasty, but with the other mods being Bilistien Coilovers, Mugen Filter and Mugen cat back exhaust, I dont want to throw it away just in case.
Cheers.

Going by that filter I would guess that it was a Cusco copy.
The filter look like it's genuine Mugen.
The strut brace also looks genuine--a Cusco 'fake carbon' wrapped jobby. If it is real it will have Cusco engraved into the brackets.
See the one fitted to Ninebolts car:

Structurally speaking, an addition of a top strut irrespective of quality of material will only stiffen things up.
However nasty the product, i can't see how it will make your car drive worse. I would just leave it on.

The chassis on the S is different to most. It flexes at the bottom, not the top
Obviously weight could be an issue, but it's already stated that it's 'light'.

Why do you say that?
