Strut bar?

I am looking for a strut bar and was wondering if anyone knows of one that is blue, or has parts of it blue or anything. Thanks.

With any front strut bar you will notice an immediate difference. The Cusco is the meatiest one out there. I use the Trust model in the front, Gab for the lower front, and the Cusco in the back. I put all of these on in this order at different times. After every one was installed I could tell the difference from before. The Trust (or GReddy if you prefer) also has blue ends and goes for just less than $100.

Looking at the photo, the Cusco looks exactly the same as the Mazdaspeed brace I have. The only difference that I can see is that where the Cusco is blue the MS product is gold. Also, MS has a stamped logo plate on the top center of the brace.

It wouldn't surprise me if Cusco was making MS's braces...

By the way - they are VERY light and strong.

Does it have "Trust" or "GReddy" anywhere on it? Any pics? Thanks.

Mr Trust bar came with silver end on it so there is a chance you won't get blue.If you get the Trust one you could always paint the ends if you want.

I have the one pictured above. It is by far the best strut bar available IMO. It has two bars that attach to the firewall and an attachment to the engine, right on the water pump. After I put it on the car felt 10 times stiffer. It is kinda expensive and a pain in the *** to install but in the end you would be glad you bought it. It also makes your engine bay look alot better, with kind of a modified racing look.
