Default Perrin swaybars

Hello all

Was just wondering if anyone is using Perrin swaybars at all?
Reason why I am asking is because while I was looking for Cusco swaybars I saw the Perrin ones also. Are Perrin swaybars just as good as Cusco or should I just go Cusco?

The car will be used as a everyday car and hopefully some track work as well



Thanks
Tim

Where are you seeing Perrin stockists in Perth, or are you looking at international/interstate sites?

I'd be interested if you would like to see if we can get a discount via bigger order/trade discount etc.

Cusco > whiteline.

Perrin are good, but I think you need their endlinks.

Lots.

Stiffness of a 22mm Cusco is about the same as a 24mm whiteline. Better bushes on the cusco reduced a lot of squeaks and groans. Changing my GD from whiteline to cusco made a massive improvement in handling.

Depends on what you want. From my experience with both products, the cusco units have just been better.

The perrin swaybars apparently have an odd design to the mounting ends, if you use any other brand of endlink apparently they tend to rub and eventually chew into them. The perrin endlink is of course designed so this doesn't happen.

Cusco > whiteline > perrin for swaybars imo.
