    I think this is worthy of a post on the AE86DC homepage to warn potential noobs.

    Anyone got anything else to add before I blog this?

    WOW!! they are quite well done. Cusco cost what they do for a reason, these will be some cheap crap rose joints etc.

    If you ever buy genuine Cusco ones, they come with all the specs of steel/bolts/joints used.

    Yeah its fucked....

    China infiltrating everything, that guy on club4ag is knowingly selling it.

    One way to tell a fake is the anodizing or finish is usually bright instead of matt...but again not always

    These are old ones
    Takata Harness


    Bride Seats
    1) go to
    2) check top page left side "news" then click "copy商品にご注意ください"(click copy product). There are some PDF files with pics. You can see pics of fake and authentic bride seat. They explain detail of difference.

    I was at some Bosch training the other day and the trainer said they Bosch were having huge problems with fake sensors(airflow/coolant etc etc) he said they were an EXACT replica down to part numbers, Bosch cast in them etc, they cost a mere fraction of the cost of a genuine Bosch sensor. But as you could imagine they are shit, he had some data showing the output of the airflow meters compared to the respective genuine Bosch one, they weren't even close, imagine how your car would run with something like that.

    I really hope that Cusco take legal action against this guy.

    If the product was any good, they would market under their own name.
