Default Strut braces compatible with cusco zero2e's?

Hi all,

Will be getting some pre-loved cusco zero2e coilovers (with in-cabin control) soon.

I have tried using the almighty google and the interwebs/ p-wrx search and can't seem to find a definite solution.

Just wondering if I can use any strut braces with the 2e's (because they use the electronic in-cabin control, cusco's version of EDFC)

If you can only use cusco strut braces then I'll order some up. If you can use any I will switch out the current ultrex braces with whiteline items in any case.

Thanks,
Shane.

Aren't the Cusco Zero2e inverted damper coilovers? So the adjustment motor will be attached to the bottom of the strut. So problems with any choice of strut brace?

EDIT: never mind. they are not Inverted dampers.

that depends on the strut tower brace mate, each has a different design. you can't go wrong with the Cusco strut tower braces though as they are a quality bit of kit. But basically any brace that doesnt go directly over the hole in the strut tower should fit

Wait what? Why get 2 of them? Unless you mean front and rear?

Front and rear cusco strut braces are only $150 each on perfect run. (Plus shipping)
