Cusco's! but what kind of cusco?

[omnikron1307]

Just bought this set off of ebay, and I have not been able to figure out which coilovers they are exactly other then the fact that they're cuscos. I havent received them yet either to get that good of a look. So i'm hoping that one of you out there may have some insight into this.

Also for further reference, what are the best U.S. shops to have cuscos rebuilt at?

Looks like an older set of zero-1 I would say?

cusco doesn't have a US shop so they'll have to be shipped to japan to be rebuilt. maybe you can try contacting some suspension companies with US offices to see if they are willing to rebuild your coilovers like koni, tein, endless, etc. but i'm pretty sure they'll need cusco parts and will need to order them.

i think greddy usa used to distribute cusco products. you might try contacting greddy first.

I think you can buy replacement cartridges for Cusco's directly from Cusco for alot of their struts/coilovers.. I dont know about these specifically though. I also read somewhere that Cusco uses KYB struts, so that might be helpful?

[FRpilot]

cusco replacement shocks? like KTS? i never heard of that.

cusco probably can sell you shocks as an individual replacement parts, but i'm sure it will cost an arm and a leg and your left nut to the point where its probably more cost effective to just get them rebuilt or to buy a new set.

is the damper adjustible if not they are zero 1.......thats what they look like i got the same ones from e-bay 3 years ago and they are still going. the backs are a little blown.

...they are still going. the backs are a little blown.

You are contradicting yourself.

[BustedS13]

"a little blown"? what?

[FRpilot]

thats like saying.. "i dont need to go to the bathroom, i just shitted a little on my pants, i'm ok"

RAWR! I revive this thread.

This thread isn't complete. We need to determine the best place to get Cusco coils rebuilt.


So far you guys have come up with...

Greddy used to distribute Cusco products
Cusco uses KYB
Cusco sells replacement cartridges


Anyone else care to chime in?

[flip3d]

K, I'll add what I've come across so far.

tamparally.com - Shock and Suspension Services (http://tamparally.com/component/option,com_virtuemart/page,shop.browse/category_id,36/Itemid,30/)

Tampa Rally claims to be able to rebuild most Japanese-made coilovers, including Cusco for $150/corner. They also offer shock dyno service for $30/corner.
