Got the Cusco upper strut bar Friday and had it on since then. Initial impressions? Well after hitting some mini-twisities, it seems that in general any upper strut bar does actually help. I felt somewhere between a 10%-15% change in stiffness. I was able to take freeway entrances (the nice ones that twists around) at a faster speed with higher control. So definite improvement in entrance speed. Unfortunately, coming out of the turn, I still can't come out as fast...hopefully the CT sways will fix that ...and maybe some better gripping tires. The Cusco bar is from blxmjx.

 

Looks good, and you can even use the stock bar with it! That is a plus!!

 

beautiful...

The CT sways made a huge difference even though I'm running a stock strut bar.

 

CLS2001_97124: Thank you! I know you want one...it'll match you car .

chikai: ...yea I got the sway bars...just waiting to throw them on

 

are there any other colors the cusco bar comes in?

where did you order it from and where do you get info on the cusco stuff? i've looked everywhere and i can't find any source of info on what they have for our cars.

 

To my knowledge, Cusco's color is the blue and silver or polished. I ordered this from blxmjx for $165 shipped. To my knowledge, Cusco doesn't have a website I don't think.

 

I put the Neuspeed on this weekend and noticed similar behavior. Mine may have been a more drastic imporvement since my stock strut bar needed to be tightened. The bolts where very loose, like over a full turn each bolt.

 

so you could get it in all silver or all polished?

 

Actually just polished.

 

can you get us a group buy from him?

 

Very nice! I'm glad you like it. I'm waiting my tax return so I can buy the CT bar.
