FS SYD: Version R Front Strut Bar - SOLD
I've got a Version R front strut bar for sale. $100 pickup only.
Selling cause I managed to pickup a Cusco.
Interestingly this is almost identical to the Cusco (Type OS). The Version R has alloy end plates vs steel for the Cusco, so the Version R is lighter overall. The bar on the Version R is 38mm wide, vs 40mm for the Cusco. This allows better access to the brake master cylinder, with the Version R you can take the cap off easily without removing the bar, with the Cusco it's pretty tight.
I decided to stick with the Cusco for the race car due to the heavier build.
