Sorry bros....I realized that there is no ES in the USDM.

Go to the summit racing site. www.summit-racing.com.tw

tie bars (the one which may fit is the FD1 and FD2. 8th gen (VIII)
http://www.summit-racing.com.tw/web6...00001282000002

My ride is the FD2 (2.0si with 155hp), which uses the same as the FD1 (1.8L sedan). Summit has a front lower tie, 4 point X brace, and the rear lower tie bar. Alutec (do a search for the website) makes aluminium lightweight chassis bars, and they too have the front strut tower bar, 4 point mid brace, and rear strut tower bar. We do not have a rear strut tower bar. We used to think it was a rear strut tower bar but really it is a chassis bar because it is not tied up to the rear strut towers.

I think you guys should ask Corsport or one of the importers to bring these tie bars in. They are so damn light. For example the rear tie bars weight less than a kilo and sells for about $60-$70 USD. Maybe one of you can try to see if it fits, then ship 20 pieces over and then re-ship to those interested. The rear lower tie is only about 1 to 1.5 feet long, and ties the two bolts on the bottom of the rears where the suspension link moves up and down.

The 4 point makes a bigger difference though...cusco is also coming out with it. They even have a cool 3 point. By the way, here is the link to our FD club forum where Pengful and I came from.

It is crap compared to the US websites cos you have a bunch of guys who ***** about everything, but at least you can still find some pictures where I may have posted....
