Default Cusco 3-Piece Chassis Reinforcement Bars -- PICS!!

Hi All --

I just installed Cusco's NEW 3-piece Chassis Reinfocement Bars and one word sums up the experience -- WOW!! The kit includes 3 pieces -- 2 pieces that run the length of the car and connect the front and rear cross beams, and a third piece that connects the other 2! Here are post-installation pics:





Steering feel is improved dramatically -- steering response is extremely direct, and driving it aggressively in the rain, the car is much more stable and "stiff"...this set truly defines CHASSIS STIFFNESS!!!

PM me for more info!

Thanks for your time!!

If you could get that welded on there instead of bolted, it would be even better! Any decent muffler shop should be able to do that for a few bucks.

Shamu,
Are the bars now the lowest point of your car? If so, how dramatic?
Why i ask is that I have some grond clearance issues already (not including my J's Lip) in the underside of the car...

Nope, the bars are actually tucked in beside those those 2 frame pieces...I'll try to re-do the pics a bit to make this clearer...

The lowest point of my underbody is still the Spoon rear tie-bar.

It's truly outstanding what's available in Japan -- I mean, we're just barely scratching the surface here!

Mikey -- please PM me for pricing info.
