Hey Samoi. Hopefuly this isn't a double post. Ozhonda keeps timing out.

I have an EF8 and I fitted front upper/lower and rear upper struts all by Cusco. They were specifically designed to fit an EF8 and I had to import them from Japan.

The front upper strut is a unique fit, so you will probably need an EF8 specific strut for that application. The rest are possibly the same fits as the locally available ED CRX and Civics. I know a few people who have fitted ED rear lower struts to their EF8s.

You could try searching for "EF8" on http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp or alternatively, there are a number of traders on Ozhonda who can source and import Japanese parts for a small fee.

There are also several distributors and e-shops out there that specialise in Japanese parts. At the risk of annoying people, I'll make one suggestion: www.nengun.com . All their prices are in Australian dollars but are for the item sitting in Japan before it is brought over. Consequently, people such as this have access to almost all Japanese parts and are accustomed to landing them in Australia. An enquiry there would probably help you out.

Modifying an EF8 is a task that requires dedication and patience. If there is anything else I can help you with, just ask.

[samoi]

hey EKVTIR-T how much for the upper strut and the lower all together or you just purchased 1 only.

[EKVTIR-T]

Hmmm from memory the upper was about 180-190 and the lower was about 140 but I got a $30 discount bcoz of a delay in arrival.

it you do end up getting one let me know, would also be interested

[samoi]

will doo crx88.

[Dylanamus]

crx88rb that's a D series engine bay.

There are three different types of Cusco sways available... something like round steel, oval alluminium and the flagship, carbon fibre. I have the oval struts and I don't know what the part number is. If you ask for cusco front upper strut in oval design for EF8 you can't go wrong.

EKVTIR-T's prices are reasonably accurate. Although I believe I got mine cheaper.

If your crx is a real EF8, then thats the one you want.

thread revival!

how close does that one^ come to the intake tube? I have a Cusco ST brace and just put a 1" M/C in and it now touches the fluid resevior, so thinking this one might clear it, but i have a B16B so the intake pipe might catch?

any more pics of one fitted?
