Yes they MADE them, I bought one off Satan_Srv. I called options a while ago and they said that they can order spoon bars, I highly doubt this since they are no longer in production. Also depending on what you are using your car for you may not want the front, for example if all you do is 1/4 mile and such you will not like the increased wheel hop.

Wheel hop? I thought when I had them on it decreased wheel hop?

Anyways you have to modify the front passenger side bracket to make it by the ABS lines it you have them, since the bar was designed with the ABS stuff on the other side in Japan...

Here's a pic:

Are Cusco bars designed in the same way--for right hand drive cars with the ABS stuff on the left side?

Maybe it was there all along, but I have really started to notice wheel hop since I installed that front bar. I just assumed that was the cause of it, not a big deal though, I'm not huge on the going straight thing.

So what's the review? Have you been pleased with the stiffness?

Yeah I like the feel of them a lot, I am guessing that I will feel a bigger difference once I install the neuspeed springs that I have and some adjustable shocks.

That is good to hear. I am surprised to hear that the spoon bars are still available. Some one confirm the rumor I heard that they have been out of production for sometime now...
