projxB 06-30-2004, 03:46 PM what would the difference be between these and the hotchkis sway bars.

The under brace ties the whole front suspension together to the frame...tends to make things more solid....and if the bar is good enough quality can aid in better handling
dgHotLava 06-30-2004, 04:13 PM what would the difference be between these and the hotchkis sway bars.
excuse my ignorance and off-topic question.
the lower arm bars are like a strut tower bars. they stiffen up the frame/chassis(non moving parts).
strut bars do it on the top side, lower bars do it on the underside.
the sway bars are for the moving parts of the suspension. they help the car in corners by reducing body roll.
thats a basic description, hope it helps...

I see nothing about a SPFR lower front frame brace
rampagesd 06-30-2004, 07:43 PM PM bbist he has both JIC lower braces in stock. i got both braces on mine and it made a big difference. one bar is a 4 point frame brace and the other one is a 2 point brace. it will take you about a hour to install both of them at the same time. just remember not to shift anything when doing the 4 point brace cause it's a pain to get the 2 longer bolts back in if you do. if you got access to a lift you should be able to do both in 30 min.

Where does the 2 bolt brace bolt too? in the middle of the car somewere???
rampagesd 06-30-2004, 11:14 PM the 2 point brace is located in the front also. it acts as a crossmember brace and bolts from the edge of the arm assembly to the other. i'll try to post some pics if i can find my battery charger for my digicam.
tinybigrig 07-01-2004, 03:07 AM id say either spy eng (scioned.com) bbist or contacting zeal motorsports (us importers). all i know and are good people, just go with who you want to support, or who offers you the best price

it did help, thanks.
Al-Truistic 07-01-2004, 03:26 PM It's there under suspension...no price is listed, maybe contact Beskone and see if he has any details. Pretty interesting, I waould love to hear from someone that has these installed...
There was another thread that I thought mentioned that even just the sway bars could increase oversteer..I don't think I have experienced it myself tho. I think it actually all comes down to becoming more comfortable with your vehicle and how to handle it.

bBist 07-02-2004, 08:32 PM The underchassis brace does work. I've tried a few for the xB that are on the market.
It is true that the swaybars and the underchassis braces will give you slightly more understeer, but the amount of handling improvement will be more than the understeering which will occur. Good product if you like your vehicle to handle the corners!
I do have the JIC in stock right now. PM me if you are interested.

VividRacing 07-22-2004, 04:47 PM We carry the JIC lower arm bar 1 and the cusco lower arm bar 2. Contact me if interested.
BlueScionXB 07-22-2004, 05:00 PM I have a question, If you already have the Hothckis Sway Bars Installed, would you still be able to mount either the Cusco or JIC Lower Arm Bars?
dgHotLava 07-22-2004, 07:18 PM i don't think thats a problem. they don't mount at the same spots. and do different things.
i would like to know if i could run the cusco type 2 and the jic type 1?
OakToddler 03-21-2009, 07:46 PM Old thread but do the JIC I and the Greddy Front lower arm bar attach to the same place?
Are they the same type of thing?
These are the 2 point braces that I am referring to.
Big_Bird 03-22-2009, 08:39 PM HOLY ISH, thread revival
Got a pic of the GReddy bar? I know where the JIC mounts too. I dont think they are the same, but got a pic?
OakToddler 03-22-2009, 09:50 PM Thats what I hope to find. I have seen a thread that has a pic of the Greddy, at least I think it is a front greddy lower arm bar. I may find it.
The JIC hangs low.
Both mount crossmember.
OakToddler 03-29-2009, 07:45 PM I thought this was the greddy due to the color but it is not. I have id'd the greddy 2 point one and it is not what I need. I have an H brace.
What is the blue 2 point front bar in this thread in front of the H brace?

Black_Sheep_xB 03-30-2009, 10:35 PM ^just another bracing point, cross member
I have the JIC 2 point in my closet.. lol.. forgot I had it
It's a little dusty, but I will slap it on soon
OakToddler 03-30-2009, 10:44 PM COOL :>
But who makes the one in that pic?
What is the brand?
Where did you get your 2 point brace?
