Just wanted to know what people think of the Cusco Swaybars for our car. Anybody would these sways could you share your input on the differences after putting these on? and any problems or gripe? TIA

 

Mine are on order. I should get them the end of this month since they ae shipping with my Coilovers. I'll be happy to post on them when I get them on the car.

 

yea mine should be here next week... funny we both rock redline

 

Yea for sure.

mine are in just waiting on the Tein Flex coilovers .. all the parts are getting shipped at the same time from Gruppe-S

 

man you guys could have saved alot of time by just calling me we always have them

they are fantastic sways....zero downside, zero noise, goes in easy, and reduces lean ALOT

 

I had mine installed a couple of weeks ago and they have definitely stiffened the suspension. The front bar is set at the softer setting; little or no understeer now; just feels tighter all around. It definitely feels "on rails" in the turns. When I swapped my stock 17s for 20s and big tires, the suspension did not feel right (even after adding the TEINs) until I added these bars.

 

hey adam, i have a question. i recently bought these sways from another forum member and just wanted to know what i should be getting from the box? anything else besides the sway bars themselves? bushings or fittings or any type? please let me know so i could order it rhough cusco if i dont get it.

 

I've had these sway bars for over a year with my TEIN Flex's..

AWESOME sways. i have it on Medium front ... they're freakin sweeting.. carves great- slightly on the heavy side but no squeaks, no shifting inside the bushings...

if you dont have the $$, Hotchkis with the aluminum collars is a good substitute..

 

the sways dont come with anything but the bars themselves

 

icic... thanks for clearing that up. so i will be using my stock bushings i guess?

 

I have them installed and am very happy with the noticable improvement they gave with my coilovers.

 

Cusco sways were my first suspension mod. I must say, the car behaved completely different and I cannot think of one negative reason not to put them on.

 

damn guys alrite! i cant believe there hasnt been any negative commen yet. thats good though definitely.

 

Do you think these sway are too agressive for daily driveing with occasional backroad and track driving? Also, what do they weigh? Thanks

 

not too aggressive at all...it really balances the car out nicely in fact

they weigh a ton....they are bricks...which is a GOOD thing, as you want the weight to be as low in the car as possible, and you cannot get much lower than sway bars (lowers your CG)

 

I'm torn between the Cusco and 350evo, I'm def leaning towards Cusco. I just have a hard time with the concept of hollow bars lateral ridgidity and stiffness. I have no experience with these, just my own hang-up. My only fear is that the Cusco will be soo stif, that I'll oversteer into a tree...lol

 

A guy who tracks with me regularly just took his Cusco off because they were too stiff and led to too much oversteer. No adjustability can be a problem if you plan on tracking your car. Take it for what its worth, but the guy tracks 12-15 times a year. I don't think he had a problem with them on the street though.

 

If I recall correctly the Cusco's have two levels of adjustment. I like mine.

 

2 way in the front..not in the back

 

Who you talking about?

I've had Cusco bars on my Z for over 2 years and about 30 HPDE's.

Yes, the non-adjustability of the rears is now an issue, since I upped spring rates about 75%. The Cusco rear bar is one of the stiffest available, which was great with the OEM springs on the track. Got rid of almost all understeer.

I had been happy with them till the spring change, but I learned that the super stiff sways made my Z nearly undrivable on wet tracks.....

Remember, while stiffer sways will reduce body roll, they are meant to fine tune front to rear balance. Body roll is BEST controlled with proper spring rates. Bigger bars are NOT always better!

That said, I enjoyed them on the street. But I drive like the old man I am!


Anyone want some slightly rusty, only driven to church on Sundays, Cusco bars?
