Cusco ----- Not worth what you pay for it, clunky, never really felt "right", not very predicable. Seemed to be really susceptible to heat on longer track stints(Tried different fluids)


OS-Giken ---- AWESOME, the BEST one for street use that also sees track, quiet on the street, great lock up, predictable, and VERY tune-able to suit the driver( I like them close to a 1.5 way with less lock up on decel) Only downfall is its the most expensive, but if you have the money its worth it.


Carbonetic(Sadly no longer available) -- I used there 2 way in a drift car, took a large amount of abuse for YEARS with no issues, always predictable and nice to drive with. It was loud and clunky so I would not say it was the greatest for street use.



All these cars saw Street use, drift, drag, road course for long sessions.
