HICAS Eliminator

Hi does anyone know who makes a good HICAS eliminator out there? I know that Border Racing makes one but are there any others?

On a somewhat-related topic:

I am looking to start a project, and have found a car in great shape for a good price. The only issue I have with it is that it comes with Super HICAS. I know you can buy an eliminator, but wouldn't it just be easier to find a car without this feature? Not only is it rumored to be unreliable, but it is weighty as well.

Has anyone bought a HICAS-equipped car and either used the eliminator or removed the system entirely? For the latter option, how much did you spend on replacement parts, and how much of this can/should be aftermarket?

Sorry to hijack...just wanted to post in the appropriate place...

I also have a Hicus car and yes it kinda suck having it, but you Tomei makes a kit for it too. I've talked to another s13 w/ hicus that has the bar and he loves it. If you want to get rid of hicus you would have to get a new subframe and couple of other things in the engine you'll have to take out. I'm sure that there is a different way, but that's all I was told. Let me know if you guys find something new about this.

Thanks and good luck.

Just bought one from pdm-racing. 150 or so. hicus is going away. It's not good when drifting cause you don't have as much control of your turn.
