Cusco offers two versions of their front lower arm brace. They are constructed of high tension lightweight aluminum. The simple Type 1 brace bolts to the lower arm in 2 places and improves chassis rigidity dramatically. This is perfect for a street car that just needs an improvement over stock, but will not be overly stiff. The Type 2 connects in multiple places on the lower arm and is designed for maximum rigidity. This is great for cars that see a lot of track time and need the most possible chassis support. Whether you choose the Type 1 or 2 brace you will not be disappointed.

An often overlooked modification to performance vehicles is under bracing. Increasing the load on the chassis via engine and suspension enhancements can increase stresses on the chassis, leading to alignment shifting and metal fatigue. Reinforce your sports car with Tanabe under bracing! The internal construction of Tanabe bracing features a double I-beam design which achieves high rigidity without excessive weight. The high grade aluminum bracing will increase vehicle stability and balance tremendously by tying together crucial structural points under the car.

The GT-Spec 3-Piece subframe brace kits allows for the removal of the factory OEM U brace for a total weight savings of approximately 13lbs in the front end, making for improved steering response, rigidity, and overall handling. Constructed from aircraft grade hollow double-wall aluminum, this piece is strong, durable, and light - bracing your front end and significantly reducing weight. Some owners simply remove the OEM brace, but this leaves your radiator and oil pan open to road debris, bumps, and obstructions; the GT-Spec subframe gives the stiffness of the OEM brace, without the weight and the worry of road obstacles damaging the radiator and oil pan. The GT-Spec brace will require the removal of the plastic engine under-cover and some shimming will be required to use a ladder bar or ARM bar.
