[Euro] Cusco Lower Arm Bar Installed (56K Friendly) *REVIVED*

**EuroAccord13** · 13-06-2005 05:49 PM

Euro77 rocked up at my joint last night and we did his WhiteLine Sway bar which we ain't gonna talk about because it's been covered and his CUSCO Lower Arm Bar for the front...

Oh..Me and Euro77 found another way to get the Swaybar off and on without a hoist (Especially for those still running dual exhaust)

... Less hassle than yfin's...

First Up... Installation was a breeze.. I was in and out from under the car in under 5mins... (VERY IMPORTANT! Make sure Torque setting is set correctly.. it's a tight screw.. 76ft/lb I think)

Anyways.. It's amazing how light the bar is, partly due to the fact that it's hollow but WOW! Prolly weighed around 1/2 KG or LESS..

Anyways.. Here's a few photos....

Installed Product... SEXY! But who can see the Blue

Look at the size of the Bolt......

Finally... Yes, that's my big head under the car putting it on LOL!

As usual, I'm gonna let Euro77 give his review on the CUSCO bar.. hehehehe...

CHEERS...

Tell us what you think of it after a few "runs"

**V205** · 13-06-2005 07:53 PM

Where can we buy one and how much?

I wanna do the cusco strut bar and the lower arm bar as pictured here.

Is there only 1 cusco strut bar option for the euro?

whats that arm bar does? help stability? or protect your muffler pipe?

**Tiago** · 13-06-2005 09:01 PM

helps stability and less body roll.........stiffens ur ride so u can get around corners faster and with less bouncing around

umm will you be posting how to for the "easier" install for the sway bar... i have mine and would love to know how to do it without hoist etc...will you be posting to the other thread?

Also..is it replacement from OEM to cusco bar or is it new additon...(its wet and i havent looked under my car yet..

)

Wicked Guys...

Yeah please tell us Euro77 if the Cusco Lower Arm bar is a worthwhile investment or not...

Well, I got the whiteline sway bar installed at the same time. So it's a bit hard to say what makes the car turn in more sharply, most likely due to the sway bar. But body roll wise, I did a few lapse of slalom with 'imaginary' cone (if you know what I mean), the car just goes flat (not 100% flat but a lot flatter than without). When I got my suspension done, I'm sure it'll be really flat

I'll definitely see how it goes on my track day, 2 weeks from now.. can't wait

Reviving this old thread...

I just installed my Cusco Lower Arm Bar as well and here are more photos...

Screws to remove...

Driver side...

Passenger side...

INSTALLED....

Clearance to the flexpipe (DC SPORTS)

CLEARANCE ISSUES...

The oil filter is there as a guide to show the clearance between the bar and the ground, take into consideration that my car is lowered...

After measuring it, the clearance between the bar and the ground is... 70mm!

So anyone who is considering this chassis modification, remember to take into account the height if you have lowered your car.. As a guide, I can barely fit one finger in between the tyre and the guard...

Far out - your car is low as. So how do you find the bar, do you notice much difference in light of your other mods?
