I would like to see a pics of this. Does it sit lower to the ground at all than the rear one? I hope its tucked away up there because I think I would only utilize it at a scrape guard for sure =P

This is the Tanabe Sustec brace. Pretty much the same as the Cusco one. This was on my Integra GS-R (not ITR). It is now for sale (since my car is totaled), fits all 3rd gen Integras. $80 shipped.

not sure how effective they'd be since there is one above the steering rack.

yshi - who saw it last night standing inside an R's engine bay

I think they are. And they are $100 or something like that. That is a great price for a 4 point Front Tie Bar. Call him and get more info on it.

Also will it work with Z10 bars?

FYI - the Cusco bar has clearance issues with the JDM ITR 4-1 header (lower heat shield bracket)
