Contact Nukabe Automotive. They're the sole Master Distributor of Cusco parts in North America... and they're located less than an hour from my house. Lucky me!

Give them a call. Thats easily your best bet.

The Front Member Power Brace will fit on a Evo8/9. It'll only fit on stock or AMS front mount intercoolers. Any other intercoolers that are larger than stock ones...probably will not fit.

Don't by it because you like the way it looks, but for how it actually performs.

the powerbrace seems ok to me. if i didn't get it as a gift i don't know if i'd actually buy it. basically saves a little weight (i think it was like 8lbs savings) and seems like it would provide more airflow to the intercooler. i didn't really notice any difference in chassis stiffness.

Nonsense. Logical thoughts such as these don't belong on this forum.

I do like the "go" of my car... and i"goes"... So now i want some "show"... Thats why i bought it, plus, its my favorite Cusco blue color, and is supposed to improve stiffness and save a little weight.
