here I'll do it for you;
Here is a CUSCO LCA Brace fitted up to brace the front left and right LCA's but NOT to a Protege. But it gives you the general idea. Here is the link. Note this is a Mazda Lantis/323F site http://www.club323f.com/forum/viewto...64&hilit=cusco |

Got mine thanks Dan. Much appreciated.
Cusco seem to have upped the bling when I compare to my existing 415 410 A fronts (BG8Z and EC8SE). To be fair they have done some work but no chrome plated adjustable plate and bling fastners in the old days; Now I can fit up those nice Luck el-sport coilovers!!! |

doubtful... I'm very sure that their manufacturer/parts supplier changed plating types to dichromate chromium from whatever they were using before... most likely due to the EU directive to eliminate hexavalent chromium parts in 2004 (part of the RoHS farce).... the Japanese don't have to abide to any EU directives, but they do what they have to do to cut costs for their export business (makes sense to have one kind of a certain product that meets all regulations globally)

Of course - easy to get more.
But they wont be as cheap unless there's another big Cusco order.

Cusco are out of stock of BA braces. Their word is that they will not be making any more due to ages of the car. Doesn't mean retailers won't have stock still on the shelf. But finding it will be the fun part.
