How hard to install? Well, if you look at the pic it is a pretty simple part...I'd say is it is not hard at all, but then again I don't know your skill level.

Single or full? What are you referring to? You mean type-1 or type-2? Only type-1 is available for the UA5.

Cusco Type 2 Bar

Does anyone have any installation tips for installing the Cusco Type II lower bar?
I have it, but I am taking caution before putting it on. Thanks.

Here are my tips...

remove 4 bolts, put brace in place, put 4 bolts back it. Literally that simple!

You can also remove the lower heat shield for a little extra clearance on the cat by r/r 4 other bolts.

It is all pretty obvious.

There are the obvious 2 main bolts towards the front of the car, but I do not have the bolts in the frame to mount the rear of the brace. What size bolts do I need to secure the rear part of the brace?

Thanks

missing pics

There are pics in the pages of this thread showing both type 1 and type 2 bars
Which one you need is listed based on year, early cars get the 1 bar style and later the 4 bars squared style

There is even a pic of a type 1 installed showing clearance of cat pipe and ground clearance

I can see the improvement this bar will make in tightening up the lower structure. Long hard sweeper turns put massive loading on the frame and this will keep everything in place

Technically, the Type 1 is for 2G CL/TL and the TSX, and the Type 2 is only avail for the TSX.

Thanks for the correction Marcus, I did not mean to spread bad info,
I was only thinking of what my car uses and made an assumption on the type 2 uses
My Bad

At least I encouraged people to call you or check the list for actual applications!

I stand by my main thought- Marcus at Mr Heel Toe has some high quality parts at really good prices and if I can justify a few days away from home to the wife- I will have him do some nice suspension upgrades for me. Let a pro do that sort of work!

I wanted to make sure you have a strut tower brace in blue for a 2003 CL-S 6speed before I placed my order.

Thanks

A Group Buy is price that often beats any others found online.
Sometimes its the same price because a no name no service ebay seller is
offering the same product. Usually its items not found elsewhere

If you look at the brake rotors/pads specials and shocks- you will find deals there

The Cusco bar Type 2 only fits one model -the TSX, so demand is not that high or a better price could be had if a "group" size purchase were happening.

The reason to buy from our sponsoring vendors is they pay the $$$$ required to make this website free to us.

You can reach a person directly and know who you are buying from.

Support our vendors

It is not a JDM car

I am thinking about trying to adapt one of these braces to the 3g tho...I think the TSX is similar. The OS brace does not fit, but maybe the T1 or T2 will...

I talked with Marcus the other day- most braces are in stock and ready to go.

The fastest way to reach him is call 1-949-295-1668 pacific time
or email marcus@heeltoeauto.com

He checks az messages often but gets the other faster, and of course the phone is attached to his hip for instant service
