Default Front lower tie bar?

I've been looking at the Cusco. I know about the ground clearance issues, but I'm using Eibach Pro-kits which are something like an inch drop in the front. What I've really been wondering was if any smaller companies made a better product. I think I remember seeing a triangulated one from somewhere. I was searching for the Top Speed stuff, but I can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have installed the Cusco bar..... with no clearance issues on a car thats only an inch or so off the ground... .

I can get that cusco bar for about $75 bucks and shipping if you want one..very easy to install..

I have the Cusco. I had no clearance issues, never really scraped anything. However mines bent to **** from hitting a curb, and then being smacked into by ice, all my fault however. I have a brand new one in my room awaiting spring where there is no ice to cause things to ruin it.

It mostly helps with steering, made it a lot easier to turn my wheel.

Does anyone know of any other companies that maybe make more than just the one piece bar. I thought I remember seeing one a while back, but I can't seem to find it. Thanks for the input on the Cusco bar. I'm seriously think about it, but I want to make sure there isn't better stuff for the money out there on the market.
Thanks for everything so far.

Oh, and that pic isn't my 240. Its a wide body racing car from Japan. Awesome car though. Mine is gun metal, yet on jack stands. The tranny needs to go back in. Hopefully I will have it running again. It has twice the power of my little Honda. Makes it a little more exciting to drive around. I'll get some pics up someday though.

Do you mean this Pro-1? It's an ASpec product. And I think it will only fit EG & DCs.http://www.aspecperformance.com/features/feature2.html


EF options include:
-Cusco
-JIC Magic (same as their EG/DC version, which looks alot like the Cusco's EG/DC bar)

It's said that EG/DC ones will fit an EF. Which means you could use the EG/DC application from Cusco, Spoon, JIC,...

What I've really been wondering was if any smaller companies made a better product.
Smaller companies that make them would be Matrix, Tenzo, OBX, and other generics like that. But I don't think it's better, too many pieces. HTH
