Arm Bar, Lower Brace, Lower Arm Brace?!?!?

impreza_GC8 · 07-27-2007, 03:39 AM

There seem to be two different styles of underbrace that come up under the name "lower arm bar". On closer inspection there appears to be a few differences between them. I am looking for some installation pictures of "lower arm braces" because the ones I have are for one type of brace, and they make me wonder where the other type of brace would fit. I'm not sure if I'm being descriptive enough, so basically, what is the difference between the brace in the first pic, and the brace in the second pic. Both are made by Cusco, and they both have the same name, and they are both for Subaru Impreza's, but they appear to be shaped differently!
Thanks!

EDIT:
I found some install pics of the first Cusco bar. But where would the second bar go?

It looks like it bolts to one of the Control Arm mounting points. Thanks!
