Cusco Lower Arm Front Bar????

Does anyone have this.
Is this a cheap alt. to the PlaceRacing crossmember?

I have a GAB Front lower tie bar. It helps to make the front suspension stiffer.

Just to clarify, you don’t mean using the Cusco bar as a cross-member itself correct?

The Cusco Bar ties together the front subframe but doesn’t replace anything. The place-racing piece replaces the most forward cross-member. I figured you knew all this, but I just wanted to clarify.

Yes I do know that you would not replace the cross member with this. I was thinking of getting the PlaceRacing crossmember to stiffen up the front. I just wanted to know would you use the Cusco bar & the Place xmember together or does the Cusco bar mount to the xmember stiffening it. Making the PR xmember useless unless you were going turbo & needed the xtra room. Thank you mojoGSR92 for pointing out that my question was not worded well. :up:

are you guys the only ones with front tie bars around here? or do you just not know what else to buy :stuck_out_tongue:

the cusco lower arm/tie bar is a separate piece and will not affect or inhibit the use or effectiveness of the place racing piece. so, yes, you can use both.

my next mod will probably be this cusco front lower tie bar–but i wish it was a cross brace design…

I know a member with this piece and doesn’t want to put it on his car becasue it hangs reaaaaally low for him, and with the crappy streets around here it would be hell on the bar

who has this, arman? tell him to sell it to me. :slight_smile:

cspeed I know that member .J. has the PR xmember & says that its hangs to low but he has also stated that it might be installed differently to have more room.
cspeed if you have a PR xmember that you do not want I might be interested in it.

nc-b17a: though i’m not aware of how it could be installed differently to offer more ‘room,’ i do know that the low part is not really the xmember itself. there are tow hooks on the piece that seem to be what hangs low–my observations, anyway. is your car very low?

if i had a place racing xmember, it’d be on my car and i would never sell it to you! :stuck_out_tongue:

Yea my car is pretty low
