hey i know some one out there has one installed! if you have one and have pics of the placement please please post them here! i would like to see where it goes before i put it in the wrong place!! i know this has been posted but frankly im to lazy to find it...lol...but i really would like to install it and the info i got from NUKABE (the us distributer of cusco for those who dont know.... ) was a little vague. i then called rotary performance and was told that it goes somewhere behind the front a-arms...not a direct quote just in case the rx7.com guys are reading this. thanks for any help and the pics to come...

Ya I have one.

you know i am surprised that your undercarrage looks so clean

xclusive_one

that looks like a very nice piece i shoud pick one up too!

rxmclaren7

Thank you Sgt. Pepper. i now have a visual ref. so when i put it on today i wont do it wrong...how does your car handle better/worse after install?? i will also be installing tenabe sway bars f/r along with energy suspension end links. thanks again.


ps kind of a pain to install w/o instructions huh?

rxmclaren7

if you cant figure out how that bar goes on you might as well just give up on cars all together. its only 2 bolts. should be a 5 minute job

rxmclaren7

hey now i do know alot about cars and do realize that it will only take like five mins to install but i just wanted to be sure...although i had thought about giving up on cars because of this part...lol

how much did that cost you?

rxmclaren7

120.63 w/shipping from rx7.com. shipping was ground so it took a little while for it to get to me about 5 business days. oh i installed a carbon radiator pannel from speedmachineperformance.com today had to do some slight mods to make fit but overall went quick and looks damn good too! here are som before and after pics..

Does the same thing for a lot less $$$.

rxmclaren7

well i wish i had looked before i had purchased the cusco unit.. good stuff though.

Sgt. Pepper

It handles a little better. It's most noticeable going up driveways at an angle.
It's not hard without instructions, it's only two bolts, but I did a little research on how to install it before I bought it.

Nice carbon fiber peace, I have one I got for free. Didn't notice any difference with it but hey... it's carbon fiber

rxmclaren7

yea!!!!! i finally installed the cusco piece it fit with a little persuasion but like you said sgt pepper def. noticable when entering driveways. i am def going to have a friend of mine make me a custom headder in stainless the arm bar is a little close for my liking to the pacesetter one. i might for now. untill he finishes with the headder, use an aluminum spacer i think a 1/4 or a little bigger will work. and yes i know to use a longer bolt...lol.

i perfer the mazdaspeed lower arm bar. it goes into the same spot but the mounting on the ms bar is a lot better.

Sgt. Pepper

Ya but that's $70 more than the Cusco bar, and honestly you don't notice too much with these bars so I would put that money towards a sway bar or strut tower bars. But the mazdaspeed bar is nice.

Red_Rabbit86

would this just be a good part for daily driving? or somthing more toward drift and auto x?

rxmclaren7

i would say, now that i have had it on for a while, that it doesnt hurt dding but would help at drifting/autox. def stiffer when you enter a sloped driveway, and real nice if you have to make an emergency lane change....

joegallo13b

can the cusco lower arm bar go under the rear end? if not, are there ones for the rear end?
