Neuspeed's billet lower front tie-bar eliminates flexing at the lower control arm chassis pick-up points. The result is improved stability and handling. For cars that now have 80-90,000 miles on the odometer or more, your car's motor mounts and/or exhaust hangers maybe worn out, this may cause excessive movement of the engine, transmission and exhaust. This additional movement may cause the exhaust downpipe to strike the NEUSPEED lower tie bar. We recommend that owners of older vehicles replace their engine mounts and rubber exhaust hangers before installing this bar. Billet aluminum black anodized ends, polished center.
