The stock ones are hollow, these aren't. Trust me, these bars make a big fucking difference.

The bars off my old car were the ones that got sent to them, to be cut up to design these new bars. I forget just how much stiffer they are over stock, but it was a lot. The front is a fixed bar, rear is adjustable.......... very tail happy when set to hard.

Yah the rear bar is basically... soft, medium, hard.

soft seems (to me at least) to give borderline understeer.
medium seems to give borderline oversteer
and hard seems to make her completely tailhappy.

Hard is good fun, but for general driving duties, soft or medium is the way to go imo.

The front bar is 30mm solid and both weighs a ton as well as hold the front of the car together super well. Basically eliminates that horrible floaty-boaty feeling.

The Cusco's in my car (JZS161) are 'Cusco Blue'. i may be getting old or just soft, but I am becoming more and more a fan of painting things black when I get the opportunity. My thoughts now are that the blacker it is the more stock it looks and the less potential for law enforcement issues. In otherwords, staying low key.

Front won't but rear can if you use supra rear subframe mounts and sway bar brackets. The supra rear bar is only 22mm, shorter and straighter but unsure whether it would be much of an upgrade over the stock aristo bar.

JZA80 mounts are attached to the subframe and mounting points are 90degree's off on the links.

No the mounts are attached to the subframe mounts which are interchangeable. Only the suspension arm side mounting points are perpendicular to the sway bar so you can use aristo links.

just fyi.....the latest bar selby make are only 2 way adjustable (the rears), front is fixed...theres 'soft' and 'fukn stiff' Very Happy mines set to fukn stiff all the time, cant b fukd getting underneath and softening it up!! makes a hell of a difference, just make sure u know the roads n theres no traffic if u do want to see the difference...coz on fukn stiff, the tail goes everywhere!! which is gud fun!!

i still dont believe the 6week waiting period is coz they have to be custom made, i think its coz they useless lazy fuks, imho!! worth the wait....ill leave that to you!!

the front is bloody heavy!!

The stiff setting is not too bad when you have decent tyres. I was rolling around with sumitomo 255's which were a bit stretched over the 9.5" rims, so whenever I went around a tight corner it felt like the rear end was slide out as if on ice. With new 275 BFG's it just squats and grips.

I took the car for a good drive thru the hills yesterday and was able to power right thru twisties. Felt awesome, only problem is front discs are now fucked.
