great swaybar! reduced a lot of understeer and body roll. paired it up with helix end links. even with the stock suspension it made a world of a difference. then added perrin springs and the car handles sooo well now, i love it

Adjustable, Great Fit, Great Performance. Added with kartboy endlinks tightens the car up nicely, noticeably less understeer, able to put it back to near stock stiffness for driving in the snow.
I don't know if its just the grease I used, very possible, but this bar squeeks/creeks a hell of a lot.

Felt a difference right away. Paired these with the GT-Spec solid endlinks. GREASE THE H-E-L-L OUT OF IT if you live in the cold weather. I am getting a lot of creaking now that it is colder here in NY. I read that wrappping the bar with teflon tape where it fits into the bushings will help.

This bar does exactly what they say it will - reduces body roll. I paired it up with Noltec Endlinks. Moderate performance increase by its self -- Huge performance increase combined with the endlinks.

The swaybar was easy to install and made a big difference in bodyroll and understeer. My car takes the corners very well now.

Pros:
|
3-way adjustable, reduces understeer, nice finish
|
|
Cons:
|
a little pricier than some other anti-sway bars
|
|
I would have rated the Cusco rear adjustable anti-sway bar a '10', except for the price I paid. I've since found cheaper sources online. I'm still happy with the product itself.
It has enough range of adjustment to handle most driving situations and suspension setups. I find that it works well with the OEM endlinks, but I changed mine later to the Whiteline alloy endlinks with harder bushings than OEM.
This anti-sway bar makes a noticeable difference in the way the car handles. Gone is the plowing understeer of old.

Cuts down on the amount of understeer and bodyroll. Definate improvement over the way the car handled turns.

Great buy for first of many suspension modifications. Combined with Cusco front strut tower it basically eliminates body roll and gives a good stiff feeling when going in a straight line.

Pros:

BIG difference, adjustable, make my wagon a lot more fun
|
|
Cons:
|
worked loose so had to tighten it once
|
|
Very good product at excellent price from Gruppe-S. I installed it with Kartboy end links ($100) and set it to the middle holes.
i love the way you can bring the back end out but it has only made me piss my pants once so it is not out of control. I was getting clunking noise when turning but after getting under and tightening everything up (it was very loose) i hae not had a problem since.

Can push through turns better now than before. My passengers hate it when I \"test\" my new upgrades but I love it. Car feels better it dont roll that much. I think the endlinks along with the strut bars would really make this mod standout. bad side - never let go when all the bolts are not SECURELY tightened! It gives you a headache.

I recommend this product only if you purchase aftermarket endlinks. They are stronger and provide less movement in the rear. My bar flipped over while entering in a banked driveway which caused the driver side rear tire to go up in the wheel-well. I installed Whiteline KLC32 Endlinks and so far so good. Be careful on the adjustments...I have it installed in the middle. Overall grade....A-

Easy Install, looks, great bang for the buck!
|
|
Cons:

Possibly may have to buy upgraded swaybar mounts because the stockers aren\'t that good
|
|
Combined with Helix End Links this puppy worked like a charm! I put this in right after installing 225 width tires on the stock WRX rims and WOW my car handles great now! No coilovers or anything else done to it!
Very happy!
