Installed my first of many cusco bracing parts, the floor seat rails. Very simple install using instructions measurements to layout the seat rail clip covers and cut with a jigsaw. I might of been able to get away with not cutting some of them, but that may be because i have sound deadening underneath that raises it. Overall very happy with it, i will see if there is a difference probably wont notice much until i start adding more braces.

Do you have this X center brace? I have it but haven’t installed yet, hoping it fits on the FK7 even though it meant for FK8.
Wondering if you or anybody mounted this on a FK7 so i know it’s compatible?

I haven’t taken off the undercarriage that covers that area so i don't know what it looks like. Maybe ill do it tomorrow because the suspense of knowing if it fits or not is killing me. But these seat rails appealed to me because they give you something to mount light bars to.

type R chassis parts will fit the FK7 as it's basically the same chassis. As far as my research sent me, this brace will work on your car no problem.

I do have it. I also have the type r rear brace and it fits perfectly (and the front obviously).

Nice good to know I assumed it fit but then started reading a bunch of stuff. One more question only 2 bolts were included with the X brace do you know what size bolts i need to use for the other 2? Will they be the same as the ones included or are there 2 bolts that i remove and reinstall?

I tried to remove the 2x 17mm bolts that are reused for the brace but i wasnt able to get them off i tried my dewalt screwgun on all 3 settings, a ratchet, then used a big flashlight as a ghetto breaker bar on the ratchet and got nothing. I need help to get these off any ideas?

Came across this at walmart, this might work to get the two 17mm size bolts off. Now that im thinking about it what size mm are the civic lug nuts because i could use the oem lug wrench if its 17mm?

Ok the walmart breaker bar and some pb blaster did the job. 2nd piece of cusco bracing in the center power brace.
