Looking for Cusco F&R Sway Bars GE8

The title says it all. I'm looking for a source for Cusco Front and Rear sway bars for 2009 USDM Fit Sport.

I think there are some members on FitFreak that might be able to obtain the bars from Japan and ship to USA.

improve the handling of course!

if its not useful why CUSCO spent big $ for R&D to develop sway for FIT?

Although Cusco didnt make rear sway for GD3 however they released rear sway for new GE FIT

I'm kind of new to modding FWD cars. I come from the BMW circle and am used to running a "set" of sway bars on a car. I have had several E34 sedans with euro M5 sway bars and my pal has an M5 with a set of Eibach sway bars (I got his old M5 bars for one of my previous cars). In the BMW world the bars work together to keep the car neutral. Neutral means no oversteer or understeer. Ideally you pick your suspension components to work together. Adding a stiffer rear bar without changing the front bar would induce oversteer. Too big a front bar with too small rear bar would induce understeer. The bars should work together to eliminate the "sway" and provide neutral handling where the front and rear break loose at about the exact same time.

Maybe I'm all wet here.

Found the Cusco rear sway bar here:
Cusco Rear Stabilizer Sway Bar GE8 Fit RS

looks like it replaces the stock sway bar on the Sport not just a bolt up like the Ultra racing or the Progress
