RMR Lower Brace

Is there some missing bolts or RMR only provides 2 of them ?

I only found 2 bolts, should I use the other 3 / 4 from my stock or they won't fit ?

yeah... I was looking into purchasing that lower brace if my Perrin DP (still in the mail) doesn't clear the stock bars... Let me know how it turns out... I would add my two cents, but I don't wanna put out bad info...

Ok...

Just incase if somebody runs into the same problem, the solution is you re-use your stock 4 bolts.

Installed!

Handling was badass when it was raining, the car didn't even slide a bit maybe it's the s-ayc ? I went upto 110mph and I felt like I was on a dry surface.

RMR Brace

I also installed the rear strut bar at the same time

HKS Rear Strut Brace

Current Mods:

- RMR Lower Arm Brace
- RMR 3" Testpipe
- RMR 3" Downpipe
- Power House Amuse R1 Titan Exhaust
- RalliArt Radiator Panel
- HKS Kansai Rear Strut Bar
- HKS Kansai CF Rear Bumper Protector (Heatshield?)
- Perrin 4" Shorty Antenna (Replaced the stock 18" RC Car Antenna)

I just installed the RMR 3" downpipe and it will not clear the stock braces. Does the RMR Lower Arm Brace clears everything?

I know this is kinda old, but the info here is incorrect so i figured i'de correct it for anyone else in this situation (not knowing why they only send 2 bolts with the rmr brace) .The 2 bolts supplied are for incase you want to install your rear most factory arm bar in addition to the RMR arm bar. The 2 bolts are longer to make up for the extra thickness of the 2 bars together. i confirmed this with RMR.

i felt no difference at all, but i dont auto-x my car.. maybe thats the only place it makes a diff. i only got it to clear a 3" dp without using spacers. ofcourse that doesnt mean it didnt do anything for me.. just cant feel it.

Just installed the RMR Brace. Its red in color. It did not come with holes in the web section. The rear lower bar with fit with no filament issues using the supplied two longer bolts.

As for noticiable difference. It does feel alot stiffer now than it did without the lower bars but I guess the lower braces are needed. But I do not feel or can tell a difference between the stock lower braces or the RMR. The RMR lower braces do look better. The bugs on the road looking up can tell it better LOL

Yes, I installed the rear lower stock bar on top of the RMR brace using the longer supplied bolts

well the invidia dp fit with the rmr lower arm bar just as i expected, however i could not install the rear most oem arm bar without using washers between the rmr mounting tabs and the oem mounting tabs. one washer on each of the 2 tabs did the trick!
