I'm asking $105+shipping for the lower arm bar but it's pending sale.

The cusco pillar bars come with both sides they should just bolt up with manual belts.

I'm sure the autoexe bars are way more effective but the price is in a whole different league.

wait, do you have to make your own holes for the other spots? Like I know that the spot the furthest back bolts into the seatbelt holder, but what about the other two?

Any idea if these will fit with an Autopower or a Kirk 4 point roll bar? I'm wanting to have a 6point once I'm done, and this would be fairly comparable with a roll bar.

BTW, out of curiosity, where do they mount exactly on the front (pillar bars)?

Cusco Blue is hot.

And Amyemiya Pink is Friggin awesome. i would love to show someone my Pink Strut bar and then smoke them. Yeah, thats right, you just got smoked by a car with a Pink strut bar.

I didnt pull up the carpet to see but I know the bottom anchor on the floor against the door sill, then the next point is on the outside seat brack bolt. Last one is somewhere near the ECU floor pan area.

Once I get them installed I'll take pictures of the clearance and you can compare it with fitment for the roll bar.

I'm just waiting on my manual belt conversion to arrive.

Did the manual seatbelt conversion on the passenger side this weekend and also installed the bar. Here's a pic. What pics did you want to see for clearance issues?

I'm surprised more people don't look for these. It's a seriously heavy duty brace that you could probably get quite cheap from a wrecker.

Yea I painted it right before I installed the bars and only did one coat and didnt prep the surface very well. I was just in a rush but it will be redone sometime in the future.

A quick look...
That costs like $125 from the store. Guaranteed brand new with no hassles.

Personally, for such a small diff in price, I'd buy it from the store.

theyll fit perfectly but you'll have to fab up one bracket and get creative. not too much work but to give you an idea i welded a nut onto the stock lap belt retractor housing and cut a bracket to bolt it down. this is assuming you get some s4 panels with a hole in the plastic for the B pillar or cut your own hole for the top mounting point. i dont want to get into it if you dont have the bars. AFAIK they'res only 2 sets in the US and i know who has the other one (not installed).
