Good job! Where did you get the aluminum, & the longer bolt? thanks

 

can i get some more info on the trunk bar?

 

By the looks of your rear lower control arm, you did these mods to your GSR?

 

im highly impressed.

 

yup

 

i got the aluminum from mcmaster.com for 65 shipped and the longer bolts from orchard supply hardware store.

 

So you posted it in this forum, why?

ITRs have both of those bars stock.

 

dont hate man hes proud of his work

 

Is that solid aluminum, not tubular or anything?

A tubular peice would be stronger and lighter at the same time.

 

why would tubular be stronger?
just wondering, cuz i looked at the comptech front upper strut bar, and its not solid, and a lot of other bars arent either. i just want to know the science behind it. (my science is weak)

 

How does an ITR lower control arm differ? Do you have pics illustrating the differences?

 

The strut on the far right is a GSR, like in the pictures above. The Strut immediatly to the left of it is the ITR. Notice the lower mounting point difference?
Hence the need for a different Rear LCA.
Here's a (shamlessly borrowed) picture of ITR Rear LCA's

 

Wow that's a great illustration. Helms rocks!

 

ITR does NOT have THAT trunk brace, our ITR trunk brace is located on the "wall" of the trunk, infront of the tailights. His trunk brace is layed across the spare tire well.

I've been wanting to make my own trunk brace over the spare tire well but just never got to it.... good job morepoop4u

 

those look sweet

to those interested, there was two threads on this last week...search.

btw, you can buy longer LCA bolts from mcmaster.com I don't know the part numbers though (yet).
