Default Installed Cusco rear sway and Spoon lower tie on EP3.

Thanks to jdmd for the hookup. I must say it feels alot nicer with the new editions. I'm still waiting to pick up the Spoon front and rear upper bars, so I can only expect it to get better. Don't post to much, but I was alittle excited when cruising around after the install. Later.

The Cusco rear sway is 25mm. Let me tell you that it is huge compared to the stock bar. Spoon bar is alittle dirty...just washed car and got some water spots. Hope the pics help.[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

Im not to sure about what other companies offer a 25mm bar. You couldnt go wring with getting Cusco or Mugen.

Thats a huge sway bar!

Does the tail end kick out when going fast around a curve?

bar looks good but I think the bushings aren't the right ones. I have the mugen 25mm bar and it doesn't do that to the bushings.

The bushings are the right ones. The bar came off a friends car that had it on for alittle while. Being a used bar maybe has affected the appearence of the bushings. I dunno. Its on there nice and tight too. The back end doesn't feel as if im losing control when going around corners. If anything, it makes my rear end feel nice and tight. Just the way it should be! Seriously, the bar has def. enhanced the suspension and I personally can't wait til im finished with the suspension and feel the overall effect.

I have the mugen 25 and my bushings look like they fit like stock. I'm not sure. maybe you got ITR 22mm ones and he just sqeezed it in there.
