Cusco FTW!
Cusco F/R Sway Bars!
Took about 2 hours of elbow grease and getting close and personal with the concrete garage floor to get the sways in; but over all it was a pretty straight-forward-no-hassle installation. Pictures +1! The angles shown are mainly to reassure future buyers of the Cusco Sway Bars that they very easily clear the HKS Ti True Dual Exhaust piping, by almost 0.5" all around; that's quite a lot of free fitting space!
Results:
The car has significantly less lean (L & R body roll); even at the softest front setting. The steering feels confident and sharp as always expected from a performance FR car. The sways perform quietly and have no squeeks or creaks, with my 2.25" drop all around (F & R)! I strongly recommend this STANCE SUS Coilover and Cusco Sway Bar combination; they rock out with my **** OUT! WHOODY WHOOOO!!!!

nice one
ive been thinking of going the cusco sways. Did it make the front end feel firmer over bumps though?
ive gone softer than stock with Tanabe NF210 and Tokico dspec shocks, so wouldnt want a crashy front end all over again

Damn your Z is LOW! 
Great choice on the Cusco Sways - JDM all the way.
Terence what is the ADJUSTER setting you are running on your STANCE coils?
I know Stance recommends:
FRONT: 6 clicks out from the full stiff
_REAR: 6 clicks out from the full stiff
However I hate the ride quality with those settings.
Do you have any setting recommendations?
Thanks

Are you sure? This is a 15 way adjuster: 1 = hardest to 15 = softest
Curious since in your previous post you mentioned how soft your suspension was.

Anyways, last night I played with my STANCE ADJUSTMENT and here is where I am:
FRONT: Before 6 clicks out from the full stiff
FRONT: After 7 clicks out from the full stiff
REAR: Before 6 clicks out from the full stiff
REAR: After 10 clicks out from the full stiff
It's night and day difference from my previous setting.
The car ride is way better then stock now.
I FINALLY LOVE MY STANCE COIL-OVERS!
I'll continue to refine my settings in the coming weeks.
