Did Cusco reply to you? I had Jesse ask Cusco about sway bars, apparently no longer manufactured. Steve bought one from RHD Japan recently though, possibly old stock.

i was looking at nengun and they listed the V2 as discontinued. have you found it somewhere else?
nengun still has V1 and both swaybars listed as available.

Yeah I saw that, but I have been on the lookout for one, something should pop up in yahoo auctions. I'm still not sure if you can run all 3 items together (front sway bars and lower arm bar v1 and v2). Also hoping that the ec5w ones will fit the ec5a :/
As I posted above its only one or the other with the arm bars they fit in the same place one just has more attachment points than the other.
Trust me I've had both as had to swap them to fit my front pipes.

I remember reading your thread on it years ago but did you see the link above where VR4s shows them both installed?
That's just fitted on the other side of the same knuckle for marginal benefit I would think... The one that attaches at multiple points will hit pro shop iida and probably RPW front pipes if not most other common types aswell.
Maybe with new solid engine mounts and stock boost you could get away with it, or else see @trotty for front pipe mods.

I was looking at a cusco underbody brace today. I believe it would do almost nothing. Is so soft i can bend it by hand! Just get the swaybars

are you referring to the type 1 or 2?
and if its that bad. have you looked into replicating it? but making it stiffer? i would definitely purchase a V2 and V1 replica.
I have an underbody brace, as people have said it doesn't fit with the RPW front pipes. I went back to std front pipes as I fitted the RPW's to a Leggy I would be selling. I have re-fitted the under brace & can certainly tell the difference. Mine is not Cusco, not sure what back it is but unlike @TME_Steve mine is very solid. So much so it transfers engine noise through the chassis somewhat now. But the upside is the car noticeably stiffer- that's what she said
I've no doubt the 4-point one is the way to go if you can get it to fit.
Both together I'm not sure what the increase in benefit would be, also how much thread depth is spare with something either side of that knuckle / bolt?

Plenty, they go into the body some distance
The bolt I'm referring to (on the other side) doesn't go into the body...sorry if I was unclear.

i know this is an old post but i know the v2 rubs on aftermarket front pipes
and also needs to be removed when working on the car as you cant drop your front pipes with it installed
