Man, I've been wanting the ASM GT Tower bar for awhile. Will it work on the CR steering brace?

As long as the rear CR brace isn't that thick I would guess it would still fit just fine. If not I would imagine the ASM cross bar is a better overall reenforcement. Especially when combined with the front lower bar that comes with the 2 separate little arms that braces the front steering rack mounting points as well.

GoTuning has it installed on their CR demo car, but not sure if they removed the rear CR steering brace.

Cross whoring from my build thread.

















Got really lucky with this one. This was a part high on my list of things I wanted to do next, and it popped up locally at a good price. Picked it up tonight, drove right to my friends shop and had it installed. It's nice to finally have an engine bay that doesn't look completely stock anymore. Beautifully made part.

Did a quick drive and brake pad bed-in cycle and I am definitely pleased with the changes in steering feel. Once I went past -2 front camber, there was a noticeable softening of the steering feel. It was very apparent after a short drive that the ASM bar has brought that back and then some. Feels more crisp on initial turn in and I have an even better idea of what the front tires are doing. The increase in negative camber up front is absolutely worth that initial loss in steering feel, because the grip increase is dramatic, it is great that there are parts like these that help bring back that feel and even improve upon it. It is less important but something I really like is when just cruising around slowly the steering no longer has a sort of softened initial turn in at low speeds. Those fine adjustments feel direct again like they did on an OEM alignment.
