Talking Cusco sways are here

Courtesy of Gruppe-S (Thanks guys)

Front has two settings- 120% stiffer or 137% stiffer. Rear about 170% stiffer.

Hopefully installed this weekend and I'll let you all know how they ride.

Please let me know how they work out. I'm so f*cking TIRED of waiting for my NISMO kit to show up. I might get the Cusco sways and sell the NISMO sways when they finally do arrive.

Thanks!

I hope you're right.

I sure could have used them at Blackhawk Farms on Monday!

Let us know of any installation tips.

Should be pretty basic- just a swap with the stock ones.

hey failsaf3,

the installation should be very easy since you have the stock exhaust. mine was a little tricky since my exhaust piping is a little bigger.

should be cake!!!!!

John,

Working on it! One thing at a time! Getting married next year is not making moding any easier. Most money get saved goes to the wedding, so...I have an excuse....I guess!! Exhuast should be next, then body kit, then brakes. I should be done then. FI is just too rich for me!!

The Cuscos are solid. The Nismos are hollow I believe so they are probably lighter, but I'm pretty sure the Cuscos are a bit stiffer.
Can't comment on the weight difference since I haven't held the stock ones- I'm assuming their a tad heavier.

Toy? What new toy?

I remember changing out the sways on my bimmer made the biggest improvement on handling. I'm sure it will be the same with the 350Z. Let us know how the Cusco live up to your expectation!!

toy.... you guys'll see it next week!!

Great link, Thanks failsaf3.

I remember watching (at Mid Ohio) the Early '70's Porsche 911 RSR's (?) lifting their unloaded front wheels nearly a foot in the air! Wish I had a pic to attatch
