Do you see anything that makes the Do-Luck sway bars better than the Cusco - the Cusco are 1/2 the price.
I can't blame you since they are really cool. Please please please take some pictures of your install and post a review when you get them on the car

I promise I will. I need to put my car on a rack and take a ton of undercarriage pictures.

Superpros are better than the TRDs if you're just looking for stiffer bars

But before you get started I just wanted to throw out there, if you check out Craigslist and Offerup in the San Diego and Los Angeles area , there are currently 4 or 5 GS300's with GTE swaps anywhere from $6000 to $12,000 depending on how modified they are. You can probably save a small fortune if you made trip to get a fully swapped and derivable one to start with. Just swap what you have over. Not saying you are at all interested in that, but now's the time to think about it before you go crazy lol. We know how long, and difficult, and expensive these swaps can turn into.
Just wanted it let you all know that I am 99.9 percent sure I am buying a 94 GS300 with 109k as my daily driver while I do the GTE swap.

I am not sure if they are thicker, I will have to look it up in HyperRev. 2 reasons - the TRD are usually rusty and over priced. Additionally, I believe they are non adjustable. I’d rather have the Cusco which cost around $500 shipped or the Do Luck which cost around $800 shipped. Both of these are adjustable.

94 huh? Thats different. But it should have the nice strong block if you ever need a spare right? I had to buy an old beater too while I work on mine. Can't wait to be back in the GS.

Lol, I'm driving a $900 1997 200sx. 1.6 liter and all of its 100hp glory. Junk car, but that little engine and 5 speed manual gets 45mpg! Gets me around for now.

45 you say. Whaaaayyy!!!

In addition to my Aristo i have a 2010 Hilux vigo 3.0 diesel and a z32 tt and...a 1974 B210 we got from new with big cam and two dellorti sidedrafts. My 1st love. Gets 20mpg when compression sealing goid and great to drive. 12 mpg when compeession leaking across cylinders. About 12:1 compression in A seires pushrod Nisssn engine.
we had an S14c200sx with thei sr20det from new. 45mpg is really a marvel as US gallin is just about 3.765 litre. Verify that and if it is accurate. Call Guiness. I am not being sarcastic as i foollow u as u may know.
