I put the Gt spec bars and midchassis brace on my G in addition to my rear strut, sways and drop with tein basic coilovers and the difference is night and day. My G handles on rails with practiacally zero body roll!!!!! I purchased the Gt spec bars from partshippers.com. Good luck on the mods.

Just Tein Basics and low-profile tires via 19" Toyos on my car and it was like "whoah".

I've had many passengers mention it having no body roll.

I can only imagine how much better it would be with beefed up sways.

From most of what I have read I was under the impression that the Cusco sways were stiffer than the Hotchkis. Maybe Im wrong and misread.

Also the Hotchkis bars are 3-way front and rear adjustable versus the Cusco bar which is only adjustable on the front to two specs.

The final deciding factor was that Hotchkis can go much stiffer than Cusco on both front and rear in case I felt that necessary. The best part is, if I don't want it that stiff, I can set it to a setting very close to the Cusco spec. Looks like a fantastic setup, I look forward to installing them next week.
