Default Guess what cspec got in the mail today!

So excited, I finally got my Tom's Lower Front Brances in today! I will probably get them installed tomorrow and let you guys know how it is.

From how the 6 Link helped the car, I'm pretty sure these will add some needed stiffening to the soft car.

Good, that is for the front only.

I think the lower center/rear frame helps the most since o/e one that came with our car is a piece of junk.

This one..

Again, the o/e piece is a fake one. It mounts there with a few small screws and some plastic plugs.... believe it or not.

That's next! But I feel the front needs some stiffening because the OE ones are junk too.

The 6 Link really helped out the rear, IMO.

have fun installing those alex. it was a royal pita for me to do it. it ranks as the 2nd hardest install i've ever done... right behind installing a sway bar and tie bar for my integra. just make sure you have something supporting the suspension so when you take the bolt out, the suspension doesn't fall out. it'll make life a lot easier if you don't have to realign the holes and stick the bolt thru. let me know when you can get the rear lower brace... i'll be the first in line!

This was supposed to be a post about the braces, not jeans guys.

Thanks for the tips Darren. I expect them to be a bit troublesome to install as with the 6-Link, but it'll definitely be worth it if the results are the same.

Definitely let you know about the rear lower brace.
