I did the same carrier on mine after the grease filled bushing on the factory carrier began to leak. (Passenger side outrigger bushing is grease filled for those that don’t know)
I checked my whole video and my notes on this. I didn’t find anywhere where I weighted them. But the Cusco is a box steel construction(heave gauge steel hollow in the middle) but the OEM is solid aluminum. I believe the Cusco would weight a little bit more but not much. Maybe 1-3lbs more if that. It’s incredible how different the car felt after the install. The rear end was much more planted. Even a suspension improvement and sway/body roll improvement. Hope this helps you. Thank you
every bushing, link, and arm replacement on these cars seems like they are all pains in the buttisimos...IF ONLY Subaru went that extra bit and put solid rubber bushings in these places, not only would there be less parts to buy, but the cars would have a more solid, planted, communicative feel. however the name of the game is "a soft cushy test drive ride", so bushings with compliance are used instead of solid rubber. My GTI was like that, but much better after solid rubber bushings were installed in various places.

codydakota95 thanks for that. I didn’t know. How do u like it so far?
I would like to see & hear a video & interior audio when are driving with this part installed: NIH: noise, vibration, harshness versus performance
I am doing a driving video with camera inside. Should be out next week on my TH-cam channel. th-cam.com/users/snewstead1388
@@snewstead1388 Hey man, was looking for this video? If not, any update on how the Rear Diff Carrier is holding up? Thanks man again, loved the video!
My buddy gave me his rear differential carrier for free so I’m going to throw it on but just here to see how it goes
Love the music! Thanks for e share
With the combo of the diff carrier and diff bushing, how’s the driving feel?
was the brace much lighter than the stock brace? looks to be made well enough

@@snewstead1388 thanks for the update, I'll add it to my build list. Keep up the great buildology :)
@@jonnythunder76 excellent and thank you. Good luck with your build also.
