4 point front lower bar and short shifter

I was looking on heel toe's website and saw that there is a 4 point front lower bar for our car and also a short shifter kit. Are these new items and has anyone bought/tried them yet? Any thoughts on whether that bar would be worth getting?

Here are the links

how could it just rip off... it is bolted on isn't it?

what is the lower brace thing? like where does it bolt up to. and does it make that much of a difference?

He was referring to his custom bar that sat too low and got ripped off from hitting the road.

This lower brace bar bolts up to the front of the car.

So is this new to everyone else also?

That lower brace is new. Ive seen it available for the TSX but not for us.

I wonder how low it hangs? If its near the Cusco, its not for the slammed guys out there.

there is a pic of either a tl or tsx with bars installed in this link might give you an idea.

Thats the TSX.

I think I remember seeing a picture of Marcus' TSX with them. A picture of the car on the ground would be best. A picture looking up doesnt show much.

i guarantee that short shifter will not work in our car. it's the same as the adapter for the 04+ TL which would never work in our car.

unless the pictures vary, and he just copied neuspeed's design.

It would be nice if you could just order the short shift kit without all the extras. I don't need any more shift knobs, I have about 7 more shift knobs than I have cars. and I'd be fine without the braided line.

I think that is just a generic picture not the exact Cl version. I would email or pm heeltoe and ask him if you really need to know.
