Hi everyone. I'm planning on buying a front under brace for the '08 Fit. I ruled out the Ultra Racing lower front brace since it seems too complicated to install. I have the two brands, Cusco and Tanabe head-to-head. They're both two-point braces. The Cusco one is blue while the Tanabe one is red; and the prices are not too different from one another either. Anyone have experience with the two brands? Are there any pros/cons?

 

i can't see to much of a difference both are great companies. get whichever is cheaper

 

you can usually find the tanabe one for cheap.

 

i can never find the cusco one.. just get the tanabe.

 

Cusco is good! Also you can buy Carbing one!

 

T1r has one for around $70

 

I've found a website where they sell Cusco bars, but I don't know if it's the genuine product. It's $75 USD without shipping. I really don't want to get fake stuff.

 

there is a real spoon one on ebay.

apparently there are only 2 in the US is what the guy claims

 

i'm just curious; how can someone be sure as to how many there are in the US? how do they know whether or not anybody else has gotten one?

 

i like my tanabe bar cuz it matches my tanabe springs

but seriously, so far so good, no drama yet

 

I placed an order for a Cusco front lower brace a few days ago. Now, that company emailed me back, saying that they double-checked with Cusco and the brace doesn't fit the USDM Honda Fit. Whoa. Is this true? Well, in any case, I think I'll go with a T1R front lower brace. It looks the same as the Cusco one. Maybe the best bet will be to go with the Tanabe one.
