Cusco Chassis stiffeners

[Unity Performance]

The spoon plate is a completely different part and not related to the cusco or type r brace. You can install it with the type r bar but not the cusco or ultra racing. I can’t justify the $900 for it but if I had the cash, I would buy it…

I'm sure the R&D is there, but as you said $900 is a lot of dough when a CTR Brace + UR Brace can be hand for under $200 total. I've ran this on my Blue Si, haven't ever felt the need to switch to the Spoon brace

Are you asking about the CTR brace?

Looking for feedback from people who has these installed on their cars. Are they worth the added weight? And how much do they weigh? Thanks!

I got all three and they are pretty light.
Front bar 1.3kg
Mid bar 1.35kg
Rear 1.6kg

altogether is just 4.25kg which is 9.3lbs.

Does the UR brace fit without modifying the plastic under tray? Interested in adding this.

Update.
I have all these items installed combined with what I already had prior which is spoon rigid collars and Whiteline ALK,rv6 rsb/LCA before running these stiffeners I had Spoon plate upfront. I've only driven the car on the streets and will be going to the track in September 3 so I'll follow up on that part.

Now the difference its huge! In terms of the car being stiffer it feels like I have a higher spring rate now NVH is increased as well in comfort mode it feels like I'm on R mode. Now I fully understand what kojima-san said on his video that if the chassis is a lot stiffer you are able to pair it with a softer suspension to have more compliance for grip. Now I'm thinking if I should put a front strut bar? Everything weigh 14.xx lbs but since one of the oem bar at the center is removed I'd say overall you only gained 12lbs. Now is it worth it? I'll follow up after my track day

Tempted to do some of these. For the sway bars, do you need to drop whole subframe to do the front?

I just remember my old rx8 with all the stiffners and bigger sways, man that car was planted but gutless.

Not subframe drop needed

As for the braces, I feel they come into their own on the track. That's where the forces on the chassis are maxed.

has anyone run the Cusco 4 point mid brace AND this UR brace together? It looks like they would be able to be combined...
