neeksimons Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I'm buying a new F&R sway bar and am deciding between super pro or Cusco. Don't want white line because they corrode easily. From what I read on other forums super pro tend to be night and day better than white lines even though they are owned by the same company. Cusco seems good but I read somewhere on here that the guy had to cut his heat shield to fit the front sway.

DoctorDaveLGT Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I don't have the SuperPro sway bars but my Cusco suspension bits have been corroding fairly rapidly. From what I've gathered Cusco's finish isn't all that durable either. The Cusco bits have seen 2 Midwest winters and I was religious about underbody spray downs whenever the salt came out. ymmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards the super pro or Avo now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac88 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 What about Whiteline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeksimons Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 What about Whiteline? I've read on a bunch of forums that the whiteline finish isn't durable at all and corrodes fairly quickly. I just want the best quality and don't mind paying a little more for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackobxt Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I know a ton of people are running whiteline including myself. I haven’t seen anyone ever complain about their sway bars and I for one am super happy with it. Why are you so concerned about corrosion? Do you live in the rust belt? If so, god himself can’t even produce a finish that will save you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeInOregon Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I have not seen a used one for sale from any company that looks decent to be honest. It might be worth it to coat the new bar in por15 and at that point any brand would probably be ok. White line seems to be the most reviewed Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORULZleggy Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I have run nothing but whiteline on all my cars and never seen this. but things are not going stay perfect forever if it's a daily driver. makes sure you get endlinks and all bushing also.

MDMA Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Just bought one for mine. Got the adjustable links too. https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/new-member-new-car-way-tuned-sti-284050p7.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMA Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Whiteline quality had dropped off (for the UK anyway). Big problems with rust and their top mounts were splitting. They were replacing them under warranty, no issue. Just the hassle/cost of having to swap them if you’d already paid to have them fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've gathered Cusco's finish isn't all that durable either. The Cusco bits have seen 2 Midwest winters and I was religious about underbody spray downs whenever the salt came out. ymmv That's what i've gathered about Cusco products too. Every used one that I've seen for sale has been rusted to oblivion. I've had a superpro swaybar on my wrx for many years and it looks the same as the day I installed it. I can say the same about my rear sway, which is a whiteline that was installed at the same time. Granted the car has never left florida, so never seen snow or salt. I also can't say if the quality has dropped in the past ~9 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I've had Perrin F/R 25mm swaybars on mine since 2008 and they look pretty much perfect still. Can't speak much to the others although I did have a Cusco lower K brace and it was fairly corroded after just a few years. Replaced it 5 years ago with AVO and that still looks good.
