I wonder how many people will buy the adjustable auto-levelizer linkage just because it's a JDM Cusco part. lol

I've noticed that Cusco tower braces have a single bolt connecting the bar to each tower at a pivot. In the BMW community these kinds of braces are viewed as mostly cosmetic as, should there be deflection of the shock towers relative to each other, the brace would only create a parrallelogram with its own points of flex at the pivots rather than a true box that would be formed if the pivot points had been bolted at two points to create a pivot or better if everything was completely welded.

I agree, which is why I usually don't recommend these types. However, it has been shown that the towers to move towards and away from each other at times. A jointed tower bar like this would prevent that.

But yeah, I'd rather a positively mounted bar. The bars that Nameless makes for other cars look incredibly stout and I want a similar one. Failing that, I believe the TRD bar doesn't have a pivot. Though it doesn't have the most stable looking mounting either...
