Carbing Lower Tie Bar Reviews!
Well It seemed That I had every other Carbing bar So why not get Carbing lower tie Bars?
My intial Impression was that they are very light, And quality is Second to None (typical Carbing) The Also Seemed to Be very strong!
When Installing them I learned That They were NOT Designed to work with After Market Anti-Sway Bars (Suspension-Tech)
I had to do alot Of Gental Massaging, But With some work I was able to make them Fit!
I also Learned that Installing Front lower Tie Bar On an EK Sucks!
Though I have only Taken my Car out twice since Install, I have noticed Slight Stiffness And I assume Under Harder And Faster Turning Conditions I will notice Them a little more!
In Conclusion I suggest The Lower Tie Bars Are a Good Mod, Once Almost Every other Handling Mod has Been Done!
I would like to Thank Sarah
, My Roomate Steve (army green EG), And Mr. Leo @ http://www.jdmspecperf.com

The ST sway bars are a Nice Upgrade, My car does not roll over one bit!
The bars Go for around ~$80.00 a piece!
Yes they Have The best Front ground clearnce, As they only sit One inch or so Lower then my Header!

They sure look like Cusco bars (actually Carbing makes them for Cusco).
NOTE: the front bar will NOT work with the JDM ITR 4-1 header because of the lower heatshield bracket; now that I have a Spoon header, I'm gonna get another Cusco front bar

Nice, they look good, chromoly=strong/light=great, they seem to fit well and I think I like the idea of the $80 each!
Question... do you run a JDM 2.5" collector ITR header? I have a spoon header and 2.5" exhaust and wondered if the front bar will clear my stup.
Thanks for the pics !
