    I've been looking for that...

    Basically like a subframe connector.

      Those are very popular among higher performance cars. I've seen plenty of them for STis and Evos.

        Neat, never seen one before for our cars. I'd say the flex pipe on my car is one of the lowest parts which rubs (my car is lowered). Putting a lower front strut bar around the bottom of the flex pipe would rub for sure. But I guess on a track there would be no worries.

          What exactly does it brace?

            It helps keep the chassis itself from flexing. Cars actually flex quite a bit.

                I've seen similar pieces made for other cars by companies like Cuzco, but never anything for the CB. Definitely a cool product. Wonder how long it'll be before ESP or a more reputable company will make a kit.

                  thats what im afraid of, as my car is already low. that front lower brace might scrape everywhere especially driveways and speed bumps

                    If you get it, please update this or a new thread on install and function. I am very curious.

                        hmm, interesting. i wonder what kind of company this is, whether its just one or two guys, or if they are bigger and do more stuff.

                          I've actually been looking into one of these for my car! I didn't think any were out there. As soon as I get this I will make a review about it and post it. Not sure how good the piece is, so I hope it will actually help.

                            Flex points vary from car to car, so parts that are effective for bracing one car may not be terribly effective on another. Such as a lower tie bar. It's useful on a Civic, but not very useful on an Accord.

                            I'd be interested to see if these braces help. However, accurately measuring chassis flex is difficult. Any positive results could be real, or they could just as easily be imagined. For $200, it could be worth trying. At least it's unlikely to hurt anything but your wallet, and you'll be able to impress anyone that wants to crawl under your car!
