Cut and paste onto the address bar, it should show up after that.

Odd way to make a strut brace, but I kinda like it. Aside from engine clearance issues (which probably won't matter anyway, since I'm sure that if it fits the K20, it'll def. clear the R18), I don't see why it wouldn't fit for an EX/DX/LX coupe.

I just hope they make it look better when all is said and done.

Z1 Performance are the ones testing it. It's been a discussion over on FGCoupe for a week or two now.

It was originally designed so it clears the R18 but it's not known as to whether it will clear the K20 or not since the R18 sits lower in the engine bay than the K20 does.

Other notes: It is a 3 point brace. There is a strut tower bar hidden in all the plastic mess back there as well.

They have a lower tie bar they'll be bringing over here as well should test-fitting go well. Z1 Performance once again doing that testing, too.

That's the final product. It has been used on the Civic chassis over in Japan for a little while, now.

Right click on the link, and check it's Properties. Then you can copy that address, and paste it to your browser.

That's my SI :) At www.z1auto.com we have been the largest volume Cusco dealer in the US for several years.

As soon as the bars show up I'll test fit with pics for everyone :)

Hopefully we'll have the bar to test this month - price is yet to be determined but let's see if it fits first :)
