That would be one huge chunk of aluminum!

How about doing it in Cro-Mo by welding it. I'm going to ask the guy that did the race car roll cage.

Also the shipping cost of such a large X brace would be high. How about a bolt-on version?

I don't know who are the Cusco distributors in North America, but anyway ... The two on the side is damn expensive, just a warning and it does not really serve any purpose. If you want, get a Spoon x-brace or something like that.

There are a total of another 4 complete strut components, see the chrome one on the end, that's double the thickness of the stock black one ... While that is a replacement. And there is one in front near when you change the oil filter. A small triangle frame goes on that one.

One tower strut brace in the engine bay that it's pretty common anywhere that you don't have to go Cusco unless you're a Cusco fanatic like me. One in the boot but you will have to cut the carpet in the boot to fit it. So, that's it.

While on the other hand, I recommend getting the Cusco oil catch tank. It optimizes engine with high revs to run more smoothly while it's not very expensive as well. I'm sure you can find pictures of that silver tin can on their site as well.

How about two smaller X braces that are one peice each, or a TIG welded AL x brace? ( I hate welds, but if I have to have em' TIG is the way to go.) Hmmmm Rear X brace????

I'd like to see something that is useful. Rear brace sounds like a good idea.
