Default ? about front lower control arm brace!

Does anyone have any info on this part. Is is worth getting! I see that Spoon, Tanabe, and a few other maufacturers sell them. Looks just like the lower rear brace that ties the rear contol arms together but for the front!

I had a Cusco lower tie bar on my R until I ran over a raised man-hole cover and sheared it off along with my Spoon header! Other than looking cool when the car was on the hoist, I felt absolutely no difference in handling on or off the track. I suppose I only got it because I had all the other strut tower/tie bars front and rear and needed it to complete the package.

Just remember, no one can see this add-on when your car is on the ground. It just puts you a step closer towards "completing the package". To some of us, that's reason enough to purchase this item, period.

The front ones should make a bit of difference. It stiffens up the front x-member to reduces flex during high speed corners.

It always depends cuz some ppl are sensitive to feel it and some they don't. I also did notice much of a difference when I install it but when I take it off then I flet the difference.

well thats weird.. ive got the Cusco one and it made a big difference for me, i guess you have to be driving on or close to the limit to notice it. Definitely worth it if your a track junky!!

hey whats up lloyd!...i was adjusting my front suspension the other day..and when i started to torque down on the collars..i noticed how much the front shock and a-arms actually moved...i dont know if that brace would cure it..but im seriously considering trying out that z-10 thingy and all the mugen suspension hard bushings..i knew there was a reason they made them...they just arent as glamorous as the valve cover..hehehe.
