Depends. 27 or 25 spline shafts? Cuscos are usually 27 spline.

Which could be 27 or 25 splines. You'll need to pull one out to count.

Cusco MZs are a c**t btw. Aggressive, clunky & a pain in the ass to drive on the street.

Yeah so ive heard about the cusco mz, ive read up you can get it adjusted for lower initial torque so it doesnt lock as quick and aggressively, anyone know if it does much difference getting it adjusted

They were never made for a Magna, yanks don't give a f**k about us, they were made for an Eclipse. Just happens to fit a Magna.

Google 76.309.180WK as the part number, some yank mobs are selling them for $700US or less, good time to snap up a bargain with current exchange rates.
