Cusco Lower Arm bar on vert? *searched*
 
Hey Ive got an S5 Vert and want to stiffen the suspension. Im dropping it with Tanabe GF210's, doing a Cusco upper strut bar, and was looking at the lower arm bar too, but im not sure if its gonna fit?

Will it?

What else should i add? this is not gonna be a race car, simply a good looking good handling car, so NO coilovers. Can i use under brace?

There's already a stock brace back there on a 'vert, the Cusco brace will do nothing.

I think he means in the engine bay. I put a Cusco on my Vert also and it made a difference. I'd be curious if the lower would fit also.

Yea i did mean the front one. It connects the control arm points i think? Would the Cusco bar help because its stronger? Im also doing the cusco strut bar. Is there a bar for the rear that connects the control arms?

I meant back there at the back of the front subframe, where the lower arm bar mounts and where the stock brace is. There's already a seriously beefy extra brace there on the 'vert. No front lower brace will do anything. I can't seem to find a picture of it, but have a look under your car and you'll see.

If you want a brace there anyway, not that it'll do anything, you might as well make one yourself: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/how-build-lower-arm-bar-under-%2415-448638/

I don't see why it wouldn't fit.
I was running one for awhile but ended up removing it.
The rear end seemed to have more of a tendency to step out under hard cornering. I have both front and rear strut bars installed as well.

I'm not saying it won't fit, I'm saying there's no point because it's already braced on a vert.

it won't fit. i have a cusco lower bar, and the stock vert brace mounts where the cusco bar would go. you can't run both. the stock vert brace looks like it's a lot stronger, so unless you just want to have a blingin' blue bar under the car that nobody will see, i'd just leave the stocker alone.
the cusco bar was made for the coupes
