So this lower brace is easy to fit yourself?
Just a "bolt-on" job?

OMG
They do a sexy blue radiator cooling plate too.



Although... I was hoping for a carbon one.

If you can get under the car, it's a four blot job, these are supplied as well. I went down to tyres HQ for mine fitting. Cost me a fiver

Installing the front lower brace should take 10 mins at most.

I think I will be ordering the front lower brace and the rear strut tie bar - but not so sure about the rear either as it is well documented that it does very little.
the car already comes with braces top and bottom at the rear....the cusco ones are just a bit thicker...hence perhaps people don't notice as much as the front where neither exist - at least on my 01 car.
