fornt lower tie bar?

anyone have one on a 5th gen? or anyone at all?
im thinking about getting one but im a little concerned about clearance.

also is there any downsides to this mod...does getting this cancel out the possibilty of other suspension mods(ie fornt sway bar)



also

i have a dx hatch...what do i need to do for fornt rear swaybars
i know i need lcas and beaks *sp kit for the rear

btw what exactly does the beaks kit have in it?

(i already have aftermarket rear lcas)

if your car is lowered, it'll be really low.

A lot of people say low tie bars only have very minimal effect. I have a rear low tie, I think it "might" have worked in some way, but I can't too sure of.

front tie bar is AWESOME - it ties together two very key points on the front susp and it stops the floppin around that the front susp tends to do when launching - ie. reduces dreaded wheelhop. Just get a solid peice, not some **** with pivot points in it. I like Cusco and Tanabe myself - see if our affiliates carry them.

can't agree with B anymore.
not sure about the clearance part, but all i can say is there is a definite benefit and difference.
the entire front end seems much tighter and like B said, reduces wheel hop a lot.
i'm considering the cusco one for myself, i've driven an em with it and it was amazing.
good luck
