weird, how much was the nrg unit? hows it holding up?
Eh the NRG was $250ish shipped. I forgot exactly. Its pretty good quality. IDK.... i asked HKS350 on the best fitting harness bar and thats what he suggested because he has tried a couple and i didnt want to do much modifications. I was just taking advice. The bar though is very sturdy and good quality. Either way it looks good and hold my takatas so

You talking about the pillar cover?

It so, yes. I dont think there is a way around it because the pillar cover is about an inch and a half gap so if you tried to install it without taking that off it wouldnt be secure. Ill try and get a pic if you need.

johnnyboy - I'll PM you with some info, but Cusco as far as I know has stopped importing to the US in hopes of saving the business. I found mine on flea-bay used off of an IS300. Wierdazndu is shooting you in the right direction, the NRG actually fits better than the Cusco Bar but it has those little hoops over the belts. Still looks good and performs great but not JDM.

my setup is actually +35 all around.. it has a very good concave like the +22 though.

i have a 8 mm spacer in the rear and a 3 mm spacer in the front.. my tires are kind of fatty since i got Conti's and im very happy with this setup.

it has the aggressive look that i want without MAJOR rubbing, and also gives me enough rubber to not be paranoid all the time
