Megan Racing Lower Arm Bar (MRS-HA-1291)
#2
So I recently picked up one of these:
Megan Racing Lower Arm Bar (MRS-HA-1291)
Lower Arm Bar for Honda Fit 2015+
Install seemed straight forward, I imagined it would go down something like this:
Well .... it didnt go so smooth. When I line up the front of the brace (narrow end) against the sub frame, it looks like this:
(lines up good, but no where to stick bolts through)
(And the rear end/wider end does not line up as the hardrace bar does)
(another shot slightly from further away)
FWIW .... I was able to install their Front Lower Control Arms with success ....

UPDATE:
I provided my VIN plate on the drivers side door jamb. It would appear some early production 2015s have a subframe that does not fit the bar. Megan was very nice about the returns process, and I will be getting a refund soon. I'm a little sad

thad, other bar is nice, and the install was quick and painless. cant go wrong for $40 ish bucks. its not as much of a game changer as a front sway .... but again, for under $50 bucks tho.... I recommend it!
from what I was told ryu, later 2015s and up, are fine. I'm hoping someone 2016, 2017, and 2018 will buy a bar, and post pictures for us all to see.
I did find a back up plan .... this Ultra Racing bar appears to mount without needing to touch the sub frame .... I'm 99% sure this will work.... I'm just not sure if I'm ready to pay 2x more ... as most of you all know, I'm cheap =)
