Cusco Sway Bar
I've searched and searched but there is not one useful thread about this sway bar...
I'm looking at buying a Cusco Sway Bar soon but haven't heard much about them. The bar is $275 shipped. So I have a few questions.
1.) Is this a good bar? I don't feel like spending the $700 on the comptech when I can get a sway and an x brace and still have money left over...
2.) Is $275 a good price new?
I'll add more as I think of them

I have the cusco bars front & rear. I think they work great. An antiroll bar is not exactly a highly technological piece of equipment. If you just want a front bar for auto-x then definitely spend the money for the comptech because it is adjustable and can go stiffer. As for price, I don't remember what I paid.

If you've searched this forum with over 5 years of archived S2000 information and that's your result, draw your own conclusions.
Of course we all hate Cusco "cages" here so lets assume all of their products are bad.

the 32mm Cusco bar is stiffer than stock... and they were recommended to me by a friend that tracks an S2K...
from my research its not as good as the $600+ adjustable sway bars at full stiff for auto-x...some of them also need custom end links and make loud sounds... not a problem on a track.. but maybe a factor if you drive on the street...
although, a lot of people who run the adjustable bars run 225/245 tires... so they need a stiffer bar to control oversteer on technical auto-x's... im running 225/255... my intention was to iron out most oversteer, as im looking into changing my spring rates...not specificly for auto-x...

Assuming an AP1 on Hoosiers or Kumho V710, from what I recall on the dimensions of this bar, it will be no where near stiff enough for stock class auto-x.
For stock class auto-x, you choices are (in no particular order):
Gendron/Small Fortune Racing
Comptech 2 piece
Saner
...as per the Auto-x FAQ
