d3v3u5 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 ive had the front cusco tower bar installed since i had the car and noticed it stiffened up the car a bit, especially noticeable around turns. now with the rear strut bar installed as of yesterday, i was able to take a few fast corners and also noticed that it did feel different. i felt more confident going through the turn with ease and the vehicle felt more stable and smoother with less of a tilt going into and out of the turn. may have just been my head tho...but i like it . now i just have to get the f/rsb and 2 lab's on... :/ it's gonna be more of a pain for sure... -mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undert0e Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I know you guys prolly think im crazy for this but I have Swifts on my OB and I have installed F/R SBs (IPD set) and the front tower bar(Cusco). I noticed that the car is pushing a lot more that it did before I installed the F tower bar. Now that I know that I can install the rear I think I might just buy the Ebay one. I have heard that the front/rear lower arm bar is a note worthy mod. and the Whiteline steering rack bushing set is on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goBlue Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 sorry to bring back this old thread. i'm considering buying the front and rear strut braces for my sedan. from other threads, most people said these braces don't do much but then a few people in this thread said they've made a "huge difference." either way, i think for less than $80 for two braces, you can't go wrong. i'm about to buy these from autobacs1 on ebay. can anyone comment on the actual quality of these bars? what are they replicas of? they kind of look like the Cusco ones but the Cusco ones have closed loop mounts and the ebay ones are open. also to install these properly, do you need to jack up your car? how much torque is needed to tighten the bolts?

rob-2 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Mine are due in today and I will attempt to report back on stock setup if they make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-2 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well if anyone is interested it does appear to stiffen up the chassis a bit. I noticed turn in was sharper and the rear a tad more planted. I did both front/rear with an set I got off ebay. I'm sure a sway bar is 100% different, but that's the next thing for me.
