Cusco costs significantly less than the JIC. What do you guys think is better?

I vote for:

"It doesn't matter, get what you like. "

 

That's the problem...I like both. Pro's or Con's of each?

Performance wise they are probably the same.

 

Get what is cheaper.

 

Anyone got a Cusco one? I've seen the JIC and it's very nice but never seen the Cusco in person.

 

Cusco is nice stuff.

JIC is nice stuff.

Get what is cheaper.

 

just get the cusco and save some dough

 

i saw this on another post

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=313992

i think this is a JIC




hope this is come help to you B2

 

If both provide the same performance, get what is cheaper.....

Unless JIC has some ultra cool presence like SPoon does....

 

i'd say niether......aluminum is stiffer than carbon

 

agreed....carbon ...has flex ....aluminum has tensil strength ....

 

Get Gen1 Mugen strut tower bars.

 

looks like they have different attachment points....

yshi - who says to get both

 

For a weight difference that you would probably never notice I would say get a much cheaper aluminum bar but if you are set on carbon fiber get the cheaper Cusco, plus I hear JIC is not the easiest company to deal with.

 

Agreed! (Thanks Sean)

 

i second that

 

Neither. Okuyama/Carbing pwnz yuo!!1

 

both are nice.
CARBING and MUGEN rule.
zero hinges on those, that is why they are superior in my book. In fact the Carbing 3 point bar is the ultimate.... why not go for that one?

 

You got one too Cary? Mines is coming REAL s00n .

As for the thread, the C.F. has flex like everyone said, just get an alumin. or best yet......the Mugen.

The JIC/Cusco is too much dough.

 

damn that is gorgeous......

 

cusco doesnt have a front CF bar, only for rear

and yes type 2 ownz you all

 

I have seen a Cusco front CF bar at Bozz Motorsports.

I personally think they are the same bars.

My rear cusco looks exactly like the JIC rear. The JIC is just a different color.

I like the Carbing bars, but they are illegal in SCCA autocrossing because of hte additional attachment point.

 

sorry i meant only rears for honda!! they do have front for other models

 

It was for a honda I swear! It mounted the same as the JIC front.

But I cannot find a part number for it on Cusco's website.

I guess it is possible that the one I seen was a JIC one.

 

Here's another pic of the JIC front, image stolen from godspeed (hides from the flames)
