cusco sway bar and swift sway bar
which is stiffer?
i have both sets in my garage right now, but i don't want to do alignment/corner balance then find out which is better.
i know there is a lot of better sway bars out there, you don't need to tell me, because they are double the prices. And i just need a simple answer
this might be a repost, i searched, but everytime when someone ask about "cusco sway bar" they will throw out other names saying better or blah blah blah
thanks in advance for any useful help.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Cusco is 32mm, and approximately 70% stiffer than MY00. As far as Swift goes, I think I recall seeing that it's approximately 87% stiffer.
I know Tan is running Swift front and rear, and I've seen him vouch for the legitimacy of Swift products.

I would research some more for sure.
Im not 100% sure, but I remember reading a while back in the R&C forum that the swift front is SOFTER than stock.
Ill look for it in a sec....
FYI, your alignment is not affected during a swaybar swap.

I've had both sway bars.
Cusco 32mm front & 30mm rear (Hollow)
Now I'm on
Swift 26.1mm front & 26.7mm rear (Solid steel)(measured w/ micrometer)
I can say from driving on both the Cusco felt less body roll, but didn't rotate the car very well. It felt a like it wanted to push. The swift feels much more agile along with a good feeling in way of stiffness. I think swifts are much better than stocks and better than cusco because it doesn't change the characteristic of the way S2000s drive but does add more stability in the turns by lessening the body roll.
Kel (Evasive) & Aaron (Gotuning) told me once when I had the Cusco bars, "Big sway bars is poor mans kilograms." Meaning poor man's spring rate. If you want stiffer, than up the spring rate not the sway bar.
