Lower Front Stress Bar Install

Is the 2 point install pretty easy? Can't imagine it being too difficult...

I did mine on a lift, used a tranny jack to hold the lower control arm up well taking out the bolts, very easy took about 10 mins.

I haven't noticed any difference.

 

[Piercemotorsports]

I will probally order on then. My car is lowered on Cobb springs. Still kinda worried about the hanging. Any plans for a rear upper?

You should be fine, the H&R go lower in the front then the Eibach's and I have not had any issues so far.

Excellent- thanks. The sale runs through January 1. None of the lower products have ground clearance issues. Yes, early next year, we will release a rear upper. Thanks again.

Can I call in my order today?

Best would be to order it off the site as we are closed this week traveling up the California coast.

Hey guys-we've been busy building braces and have made a few changes---we're starting to move more into a production style process and streamlining as much of it as we can. We're building batches of braces at a time now, we're having our cups/mounting points tigged and we're now batch coating/powdercoating our line! The volume made it a necessity and while we enjoyed offering the different colors, it became a bit too much to do in house. The color is our own custom blend---it's base is a dark gray/anthracite color with a bit of metallic added in. It is amazing in person and will work with any color car/accents!

What this means is generally faster shipping times, more precision, and more durability in the finish for a long lasting part. We've decided to still offer a color change option for a small fee and we can still shoot just about any color you like---or even leave it bare metal for those folks wanting to get creative. The website will start reflecting the changes next month---until then feel free to contact me here with any orders/questions-thanks!!!

Nice! I still need to order mine but really need to pace myself with the mods...

 

[timmytoast]

Nice to see powder coating will be used now instead of paint.

 

[Piercemotorsports]

I'll still offer the custom paint---it's just getting to be a bit much as all...

 

[Chris G]

Are you guys going to be powdercoating the strut tower bars as well? I dig that color you're using.

 

[Piercemotorsports]

Everything we make-one color---but I will still offer the custom color---I don't want to take away the choice from folks because I think it adds to the brand...

 

[Chris G]

But the custom color is paint vs powdercoat?

Correct-we shoot 3 coats of a metal etching primer and then 3-5 coats of a gloss enamel. It was very time consuming to say the least...

Hi I have a bit of an issue.

I understand I'm one of the first few people who ordered the 6 point brace (back in Oct 2014) but I'm coming across issues with mine.
With enough effort I managed to get the "4 point" part of the brace on, although the front 2 holes really should be bigger.
But the rear 2 points of the 6 point brace aren't even close to lining up.
I don't know why you guys build these braces with such low tolerances in aligning the bolt holes but this is already after I elongated the hole to what I thought was still a safe limit and it still didn't line up enough for me to throw a bolt in so you can imagine how awful the fit was.

long story short, I spent the whole day trying to get this ill fitting brace to work and ended up reinstalling everything as it was from factory after 3 tries at elongating the 2 rear holes. I'm pretty upset as I spent hours on my back trying to work this BS out and I feel like a bit of a guinea pig after this whole episode. Feel like I should've saved my money and got the 4 point if not the 2 point.

For the record my car has no accidents and has less than 10000 miles on it

P.s. Also it'd be a good idea to include some torque spec info for your customers in some kind of instruction sheet instead of me having to find a service manual and look it up.

P.P.S. It sounds like Joszer also had a similar experience a few pages back in this thread and westcoaST also had to enlarge the holes to get it to work.
