The Cusco ARBs give a much harsher ride than the satandard ARBs which probably isn't to everyones taste. On the plus side they almost completely eliminate roll on roundabouts

Don't mean to sound daft, but where is this center of gravity place? I though Honda could do it?
They can.

I had a Honda dealer do an alignment for me yesterday. I gave them the settings that I wanted and they set it up. Cost me around

Nope. Nowhere near to the accuracy that Chris can.




They use more or less the same kit.

My understanding is that Chris's kit is much more expensive better regarded that the dealership kit. The Honda kit tolerences are also greater, so I believe. I'd never pay a dealer to do my alignment unless it had to be done there and then.

I think it must depend on the dealer. I watched my car getting aligned yesterday (a necessity as I had replaced all of the wishbones). The kit they were using looked Similar to Chris's kit and they gave me a detailed printout of the settings.

I can remember when I first used them to get the car aligned they didn't provide the prinouts of the settings but this changed a couple of years back so I assume that they must have upgraded their kit.

Now Chris reckons 15% of that is down to my Anti roll bar choice.
The rest is purely down to the Geo settings.
15%? That's a bit disapointing. Sure he didn't say 50%?

Karl - Chris sells Cusco parts so he can get them for you if you give him enough notice. I however got my Cusco ARB's from www.takakaira.co.jp. Cost including (super fast) shipping from Japan for the front and rear came to
