Default Definite research...possible development!?!?!?!!!

Ok so I have been making phone calls and rummaging through websites. And tomorrow I have arranged to climb under a friends car and take many measurements regarding suspension, springs, struts, sway bars, etc.... His car may hold some answers on how to improve on cusco's horribly failed attempts at sway bars and strut braces. I will have more answers tomorrow hopefully.....stay tuned!

I'm not implying they have problems. I'm saying they offer thin, yet expensive items.
For example:

cusco RSB = 16mm at $300
progress RSB = 22mm at $150

im working on a way to have a decent sway bar....
