I have the real Cusco front bar and the Corksport rear bar.

Whoever said they flex is smoking crack. My rear bar is burly as hell and make a noticible handling difference. I got the Cusco one because at the time there wasnt a corksport replica.

So how does it actually feel by the "seat of the pants" ?

Without the bars, my car would make "creaking" sounds when i went over speed bumps or curbs (my car is lowered). WITH the bars on, all that went away. There is a more "solid" feel to it. I cant quantify any performance benefits, but i can tell you that both bars that i have are worth more than they cost.

I have the Motoria set they were selling on ebay a while ago. They are exactly the same as the CS bars. I love mine, and the price cannot be beat!

I have the set and I think the front bar flexes to much for my taste and thats just from me pulling on it. I haven't tried moving the rear though.

I've seen the mazdatrix unit and that thing doesn't flex at all.

I think I'm going to a new set here in awhile.
