Cusco rear lower arm bar

are we talking a full lower control arm or just some kind of brace?

pics please

yup i have it, i never did get around to installing it as i have been busy with other matters... i did install the front lower bar though since that didn't require removing the lower control arm bolts like the rear one does....i can give you some opinions on the front lower bar. my 2 cents are that it is more eye candy than anything else, i really didn't feel any additional stiffness in the chassis...it is good for hitting speed bumps though =/

Thanks for the reply tetsuyagarage. Was asking for pics because because someone's selling me a used cusco rear lower bar. When i tried to fit it, it hits the mount for the original brace. Was wondering if i'm fitting it the wrong way.

Is it for a 1.6 NA? Remember our suspension is from a 1.8.

ahh yes, well i know that 1.8 has that extra bracing that the 1.6s didn't have but it seemed like it would fit fine on mine(1.6) when i lined up the lower arm bolts and the lower bar it didn't appear to have any fitment issues. i think the part was model specific hence you having fitment issues?

Greg, Tetsuya,

I'm not sure if it's for 1.8 or 1.6. It's a bent aluminum bar with holes on the sides for mounting on the alignment bolts. I called Mon V. re this and he said the Cusco brace for 1.8 mounts where the horizontal oem brace goes (a bolt on). So i guess it's for 1.6. Oh well i could have gotten it for a cheap price...
