Front Under Brace/Lower Arm Bar

cusco make's one for the tsx... has any tried fitment of the cusco on the 3rd gen tl... obviously since the rear sway bars are the same this leads me to believe the fronts are the same

hey marcus... care to try?

you mean these under braces?




more of show than performance. didn't feel much difference when i installed the typeII version on my tsx. also wonder if it'll clear the jpipe or the 3rd cat.

I took measurement on both cars and they are exactly the same. Sorry guys no pics but I got a different brand on my car. The company is call Summit Racing. I got a LOWER TIE BAR, LOWER X BRACE, and REAR LOWER TIE BAR. These body braces are for a TSX not a TL but I took a chance and test fitted them. There are some modification that needs to been done to make it fit but nothing to extreme.

Nice! Ground clearance would be an issue for anyone dropped though...

Notice any handling improvements? What other suspension mods have you done? Cost?

Thanks for the pics.

The company of the body brace: http://www.summit-racing.com.tw
Quality is top notch!!
This is where I purchase it from: http://www.ontherunmotorsports.com
It's from Austrialia,(sp) there are no vendors in the USA. The person that help me, his name is Johnny. He's a nice guy. I think I paid around $560. for all three including shipping. It came in three days. You need to email him for information of the body braces. It's not JDM but close enough. Remember you need to add a spacer for the two front bars. The rear a direct bolt on.
Hope this helps and for anyone that thought they were done with mods there is another one to put on your lists.
