How does it compare to Spoon's in terms of the handling improvement? Will the bar interfer with oil change? Anyone who has experience with it please chime it.

I am looking to buy this and the rear low tie bar, anyone has a source? I prefer local shops in Socal where I can pick them up, if not any sponsors on the board will do. Thanks in advance.

 

mhs2k has the brace and Bulletproof Automotive is in socal.

 

I sell the brace as well on my site. Tech2motorsports.com or you can call me at (800)59TECH2.Cusco will not have the rear brace in stock for another 2 months though.

GHS2k: hihi, do you remember me?? (hint, Naomi apt. A)

i bought the Speed X brace thru the GB last week (identical to the Spoon's x brace) and had it installed at impex. you can really feel the difference, the front end of the car feels more rigid than stock, especially when going over rough and bumpy pavements. drive your car with X -brace on over the rough section of San Gabriel Blvd. you'll see what I mean.

 

I have installed
Comptech Strut Bar
Rick's x-bar
Cusco 3 piece chassis reinforcement bar
Cusco rear lower tie bar.

Cusco 3 piece bar gave me MOST improvements.
I could FEEL BIG difference in turn-in which was much more instant.
I was amazed how those bars can make such a big difference in handling.
X-bar helped little on front too.

For strut bar and lower tie bar, I didnt feel much difference tho.

 

I had the Spoon x-brace, now have the Cusco. IMO the Cusco is far better in performance and design. Its shaped like an Y, does not interfere with oil changes at all.

 

BTW cusco rear lower tie bar REQUIRED drilling on the bar.
Some say they didnt but I think it depends on MY?

 

I think this will be solved in the new version. Cusco is revamping the design, that's why it's on backorder for the last few months.

 

Try SHINJI, he is a board member who has a ton of Cusco products. Shoot him a pm, or check out his site at: www.jsportauto.com

If he doesnt have them, he'll try his best to get them for you.

 

Yep I have every Cusco part in stock. Except the rear lower tie bar which is still backordered and rollbars/cages.
