those cusco bars have been out for awhile now..

just waiting for them to release some swaybars!

 

Yeah, I know. They are the same part as the Evo X one, but I've never seen them on the RA.

 

Finally about time that Cusco has done something for our cars even thou they have been "out" for a while. I would love to get my hands on them but who would distribute them for U.S.? Can anyone convert YEN to USD?

 

pretty sure any of the vendors here who stock cusco products will be able to help you..
or you could just contact cuscousa...

I would go one Vendor forum for the Evo X and look for Cusco distributors.
the rule of thumb for the conversion YEN -> US is divide the price by 100

i imagine the evo x ones are the same as the RA's

 

29,400 yen = 350$
23,100 yen = 275$
14,700 yen = 175$
15,750 yen = 188$

 

Does anyone know if the RA chassis would benefit from the undercarriage braces. It makes sense to have a stiff chassis so the suspension does the work more efficiently. Or would this be something that is really better to do after a suspension upgrade? Or is it just a big waste of money?

 

I'm sure it would benefit from being stiffer. However I think there are more worthwhile upgrades to do first: springs, swaybars and wheels/tires.
