[JPN] BA - Cusco Lower Control Arm Brace

Item: BA - Cusco front under brace

Link: http://page14.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s58478178

Images:


Actual Brace:



Description: Cusco underbody front chassis brace. Will fit I4 and V6. Mounts to suspension arms.

More info here - http://www.cusco.co.jp/english/e_lower.html

Conditon: New!

Price: 6900yen - about AUD$75 (not inc shipping/charges etc).

Tis a dutch auction - the more that are bought, the less it'll be due to the combined shipping. About $220ish landed for one, a reasonable amount less for more.

Landed price would be about $220, as stated above. Cheaper if there's a few others who purchase one.

Ok, i've got one interested party. If anyone wants to buy one, it'll bring the price of yours down to under AUD$200 landed.

No chance of an actual pic until i get one here in a few months, but i'm fairly sure it's the same design as one of the right (not that that helps you with clearance)

Yeah let me know when you get one and how they bolt up. I had problems with
clearance with the crossmember been looking at making a custom one similar to this

http://corksport.com/store/large/l35...member_V6.html

but not as fancy to give me some extra space. I guess the rear cusco section fits in same as this rear tie down.

From the usual place - the auctions in Japan.

I can get plenty more if you're interested.

Hey, hey, nice one

Looks very similar to the underbrace Brad has on his Type R, said it caught speed ramps sometimes, but who cares When it looks that good

I take it it mounts on the front control arm mounting????

How much are they chap???

Depends how many i order at the same time.

Get me an order for 5 or more, and they could be as cheap as around AUD$150
