sure do!

they're the same as most of the brand name ones.. hard to go wrong with a couple of brackets and an alloy bar!

I wouldn't spend any more to get essentially the same thing..
if you look in the current cruise pics linked off the front page of the site you'll see the blue and red one on my car (dark blue Q's)

I have the exact same one as DumHed (front struct brace) from Sam's Auto One... and it does help a fair bit.

We went on an Old Road cruise the w/e that I put it on my car and I could really feel the difference :)

Here are some decent pics:

Yeah I would love the Nismo one... but I personally dont think its worth the extra $100 when the Sams Auto Strut Brace does the same thing and still looks quite ricey.

Also it never hurts to check wreckers and importers yards - especially compliance yards. They always have all kinds of goodies sitting out the back they're more than happy to sell. As long as you don't mind second hand stuff.

Maybe they are cheap as shit ones with "CUSCO" scrawled on them :D

Check if it's been written in crayon. That'd be the giveaway :P
