Hi everyone!!! - I need everyone's help again...
Not long ago while doing Autocross I hit something on the lower arm bar (see below)


The highlighted in red arm broke off on the right side (the part highlighted in blue bent a little - which is the welded part - )

Like the picture says; I'm looking into buying the Cusco Lower Arm Bars Type I and Type II. Would those replace the stock lower arm bars? Or do I still need to get the welded part fixed?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!...

 

BUMP for some HELP!!!

 

I have the whole cusco set, from front to back.

You are still gonna have to get the welded part fixed to get it to work.
Otherwise, it's not gonna line up right or give you any kind of stiffening benefit.

 

Please do not bump after 15 mins.

Get the Cusco. But make sure the other mounting point (the bend one) is strong and in the right place. Might need to hammer/weld it back.

 

Thanks a lot man!

 

My bad SmikeEvo...

 

Alright - now the problem is that CUSCO does not have a distributor here in the US right now. They cannot ship any cusco parts for the next couple of months. Anyone know where I can find the front power brace (the one that goes between the headlights - in front of the intercooler)?

 

Worse case scenario would be to have the entire front cross member replaced. A used part isn't that costly, but the labor costs are.

 

I found one guy in all of US that had 2 of the cusco front power braces... Next week I'm getting:
Cusco Front Power Brace
Cusco Type I Lower Arm Bar
Cusco Type II Lower Arm Bar

I will still need to fix the bent part on the lower arm's link.

 

I'd recommend the Carbing 6-point bar over the Cusco. It's cheaper and I really liked that it tied the control arms into the unibody frame all in one piece. However, as stated above, you will need to fix that mount in particular in order for everything to line up correctly.

Thanks a lot man!!!... this looks great - and it sound like its worth the money.
I'm probably getting this one + Cusco front power brace - that'll give me a nice set up for now...
