BatEvo: so would you say that the croxx plate is more rigid and provides more chassis rigidity than the cusco lower tie bars, or any other brand for that matter?

also, eventually i will be upgrading the turbo, will the croxx plate fit with a dp for the AMS, or RnR turbo kit?

I am almost finished with engine mods except for a turbo upgrade and I plan to start my suspension stuff next. I was seriously looking at the croxx plate, but fitment is an issue that must be addressed. any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I think a plate is a better idea when it comes to bracing this portion of the car, plus the added protection as a skid plate and added protection for the engine bay.

 

Some of the aftermarket downpipes will not clear the Croxx Plate. However slight modification to the Croxx Plate can allow these downpipes to fit, without sacrificing chassis rigidity.

 

yep
