Just wondering if the Cusco Version I Lower Arm Bar is permitted for Street Touring classes? I have been doing some researches and a lot of posts say that underarm bars are not legal, however, I don't see why.

According to the rule book, 14.8 H. Strut bars are permitted with all types of suspension. Strut bars may be mounted only transversely across the car from upper right to upper left suspension mounting point and from lower right to lower left suspension mounting point. No other configuration is permitted. Additional holes may be drilled for mounting bolts. Only bolt-on attachment is permitted. Interior trim panels may be modified to allow installation of strut bars. Holes or slots may be no larger than necessary and may serve no other purpose. This does not permit any modifications to the frame or unibody beyond the allowed mounting holes.

Since the Version I bar is connecting from left to right (two points), I assume it is okay to use? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Here is a pic of the bar(the bottom one)

In my investigation I would think it's legal since they added the lower statement in there.
