Do the EK9's come with a rear strut brace and lower tie bar stock? Cant find anything anywhere but I know the ITR do. Thanks.
 
Dont really come with either - theres sort of a lower tie bar but its more of a reinforcement bar !

Defo dont come standard with rear strut brace.
 
Anyone have a picture of the lower tie bar? Im wondering how hard it would be to install one on a USDM car.
 
Cusco lower tie bar on mine, you can just see underneath it the oem subframe reinforcement bar

Easy to fit the lower tie bar as long as the bolts loosen ok!
 
YAh but im wondering id the stock EK9 one bolts too a USDM frame. I already bought a non OEM one just curious.
 
You should try a beaks lower tie bar, iv seen a few of them on usdm hondas.

The EK9 Brace isn't a Tie-Bar. It fits between the LCA mounts on the Sub-Frame IIRC. I don't think the USDM Sub-Frame has holes and possibly indentions for the EK9 Reinforcement Brace. A Tie-Bar looks like it's much stiffer than the EK9 brace as it just looks like a pretty small Pipe that has the ends pressed with holes drilled for the bolts. The Cusco and Carbing pieces are much Beefier.
