My Fit's lowered, but not to the extreme.



The reason is that my suspension (lowering springs & stock shocks/struts) is a bit bouncy, as you'd expect, so on sharp dips or inclines, the bar will catch if the suspension compresses. If you had read my post, you'd see that my question wasn't why the bar is developing a relationship with the pavement, rather if I should be concerned about the extra stress on the control arms and endlink bolts.

 

those make shift nuts that is attaches to the ladder brace is totally off.

I wish I could get the KMR 4point brace for my GD3 even though I would have to raise the car 1.5 inch.. Just mounting the rear strut and C pillar bars made a surprising difference I wasn't expecting... My steering wheel was slightly turned to the left when driving in a straight line and now is pointed almost completely dead on straight.. There seems to be less road noise from the rear of the car as well..

 

Got the front strut bar finally on with very few fitment issues. Did a little grinding to widen one hole and bolted everything up. I did however re-bend that center red strengthening support because the angle was incorrect as shipped...im not sure if anyone else had done this before installing but that may have been the difference between a cracked windshield and not...idk, so far i have no problems...just have the rear bars left to install when i have time.


IM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED THAT AFTER ALL THIS TIME THERE IS STILL A COMPLETE LACK OF PRESENCE FROM TIGER TUNING...VERY DISAPPOINTING INDEED.

 

these scrapping issues everyone talks of are problems that most cars have. when i still had my s2000, members had the same problems with the cusco braces as well. it has nothing to with bad manufacturing, it has to do with clearance issues due to being lowered. unfortunately for those who are lowered, there's no cure but to either stay off bumps, stray away from pot holes, or raise ur cars! LOL!

 

I will have to go elsewhere for the 4 point brace unless someone is selling one used... I am pretty bummed out that my order wasn't complete and there has been no response or post in a long time... The price I paid for what I got is still very nice so I am happy about that.

 

I think Tiger tuning just stole 600 bucsk from me, They never answer there emails, and now thier phone is disconnected, extermely pissed

 

I still have a new KMR front strut bar for GE8. Please let me know if you are interested in.

 

i wish i could, but they took 600 bucks from me, does anyone know if they went out of busniess or anything , and how i can get my money back. or if the TIGERTUNING retard would every email or anything , im soooooo pisssed

 

well the mid tie and 4 ladder brace DONT FIT

 

Will you get any support from the vendor when they don't fit?

 

tiger tuning the worst company ive ever bought from, i wont ever again buy from tiger tuning

 

not thier phone number doent work and i been email them for 2 weeks now, only repsonds i got from them is when i bought it they sent me a email saying its shipped, after that no contact, if i knew how to get intouch i would sue them

 

That is what I feel. He will change tiger tuning to something else. So I will look who is behind the company as well. You never know that you have to deal with the same guy.

 

He will not give you his contact info now.

 

How much are you looking to get for this?

 

Sorry, I just sold it on eBay for $125 last night. I just want to get my money back.

 

You should call your bank or CC company and explain the situation CALMLY. They may be able to get you a chargeback.

Did you use CC or Debit to pay? Paypal?

 

Day late lol , wasn't ment for me I guess
