Last I heard, there was a mix up in the initial order. So there had to be a reorder. That was a month ago.

I've been waiting since April 6th.

I talked to him a couple of weekends ago, he said there was some problem in Japan, that he would have them to me (us) as soon as he could. I haven't bugged him about it since.

One thing I've noticed is that with all JDM parts (euroR or Cusco or whatever) there's no way around a very long wait.

Don't mean to hijack the thread...

Itrhybrid --- how's the car with the bar installed? Was it worth the wait (and money)?

I noticed a small difference. I don't track the car so all of my driving experience has been on the street. It was not a big difference like when I added the rear sway though.

Hi guys, I have the same Cusco Front Tower Bar like all you guys have. We all understand it is somewhat touching one of the AC pressure line. I've put a pad and a thin foil tape to cover the AC line, so that the Cusco won't bang on the metal AC line. Would this eventually cause a problem (i.e. break the AC line or crack it)? Or am I just too worried on this?

Thanks for your inputs/thoughts!

AC lines are easily bent out of the way. Because of RH and LH drive differences, sometimes we get these kinds of interferance. Just bend the line out of the way.

Hey... I thought we had a front strut bar.

Is the Cusco version just for looks?
