anyone install cusco front member power brace?
 

Got a cusco fm power brace and wondering if anyone has instaled one and possiblybly also the front lower armrs.
any commentary to its affects if any noticeable?

im also curious to know if the aluminum scratch plate fits back over it once the brace is bolted down?

thanks

Yea all the underpanels fit over it no problem.

I put all my bracing in at the same time as long with my coils. Kinda hard to tell what did what. But it's felt much different. I'm sure the bracing is a big help

What, underbody bling that no-one can see?

I have em both. Everything fits perfect and all stock belly pans go back into place as normal. I am now using the GTSpec lower control arm braces with cross brace in place of the Cusco lower arm braces. Mine is considerably more rigid than before the bracing but I have significant rear bracing as well. Vehicle is tied to the road very well. Meaning the vehicle is transmitting exactly what is happening at the tires and road surface.

Yeah I have all the underbody bling from cusco that nobody can see. Car feels stiff, but not so much more than stock. I am hoping its going to be helping the chassis stiffness last a lot of years.

Wow ok great...thought the pannels would be able to go back on.

ya i too expect to install those two braces as well as some in the rear and strut towers as well as wheels and coils all at once. So i cant wait to see the total effects.

thanks

Mind telling us what set of coils you set up...and at what specs ride height spring rates ...how you set up the front and rear

thanks

I love the gains from chassis bracing. I may be more sensitive then some but I think bracing is a great mod. Cars feels much more planted and holds a line better in long sweepers.

You guys were able to get the cardboardish panel to go back on? Hmm.. Maybe I should try putting mine back in...

I got the hks hipermax. Originally I thought it was a 8k/6k spring rate but recently I read it's 6k/4k. Which makes alot more sense to me. I think I dropped it about 2in and dampening set to about half all around. I can measure fender to groin when I get the chance.

Ground** LOL not groin

Lol

cool so the front is 8k ..if so how does it feel being stiffer in the front.

compared to the stock set up

thanks

Ok stand by...

you wont b impressed
