Advertised website price is $199USD - that price includes freight if I'm not mistaken.

It's a two-hole adjustment sway bar (so hard and soft) as opposed to the Whiteline's three-hole.

Does anyone want a set of these?
$100 posted.
Brand new, still in the box (will be shipped in different box due to the box they come in being stupidly big) with instructions.

Im on OzLiberty more than here (as my post count says...) and there's an ad on there too.

I'm currently using the cusco frt & rr with avo end links but I'm considering a change to the perrin 25mm frt & rr with perrin end links as well. If your interested I can sell you the cusco sway bars and avo end links. I've had the sway bars powder coated black so not to stand out.

Would have jumped on this a couple of weeks ago, but I have an order in with Phats already.
PM sent animal. May still know someone who may be intereseted.

I decided to go with Cusco gear in the end. Have installed Cusco 21mm rear sway and heavy duty mounts. Courtesy of Phats, of course. Pretty happy that I got the heavy duty mounts as well as the RSB. Feels a lot tighter with the mounts vs the RSB by itself.

Have 23mm front on order, but don't know how that is going due to the unstable AUD at the moment.

Very happy with the Cusco stuff and how it installs. Very well made, great finish. Too bad I don't read Japanese otherwise the install could have been much easier.

Can anyone give me any feedback on lower arm braces. Do they make a difference??

The whiteline bar I just installed was a two hole (soft/hard) as opposed to the three hole version.

Does the Whiteline RSB still come with the yellow polyurethane bushes and white grease??

Still has the bushes but the grease is now 'charcoal' coloured.

Some pics of my Cusco 21mm RSB and Cusco heavy duty rear mounts.

My aftermarket alarm system. Very effective. Only requires a couple kg of meat to operate

Did you get through Phat? I'm going to PM him about getting one.

Yeah, I ummmmddd and arrrhhhh for a long time, but the advise and recommendation by Phats swayed me and he gave me a great price as well. Very quick delivery, full instructions included. Couldn't be happier.

With the way exchange rates are at the moment. You are better off getting Whiteline stuff.
