The Tanabe "Sustec" TUB153F two point front chassis bar fits perfectly on the "v"

Thanks for the kind words.

I only drove once after the installation but when I came to the almost elbow curve where I pass everyday, I gave it more speed and felt less body roll and the turn seemed a little quicker and truer than what I tried to memorize when I passed by that curve in the past few days. On straight away over bumps and puddles, I think the wheels planted firmer and not as bloated as before.

I need to drive more to be any more conclusive though.

Thanks..

I scrubbed them well with the green Scott-Bright and wiped off the aluminum dust with the micro fiber cloth. No primer but 5 coats and air dry between each coat. I was thinking of putting a clear high heat enamel on top but they are glossy enough. I sprayed inside the tube too.
I want to go back and see if I can add any more braces in the rear!
It felt good driving knowing that you have solid braces there. :mod:

I don't have a 19mm socket, but after consulting a handy online metric converter, a 3/4" SAE socket will work. In fact, most wheel lug wrenches have dual markings on them for Metric/SAE that includes the 19mm-3/4inch end.

Yes, I also used the 3/4 socket.

Yeah,

Most of the 3/8 inch drive sets stap at 18mm...... a useless size, since 19mm is more common on M12 bolts and cap screws, while 17mm is common on M10 screws (European DIN and iso standards). The Japanese standard is usually 14mm for M10 and 17mm for M12. However, Toyota used 19mm on the under chassis bolts.

Mike,

Have you seen this one?
I think it is of poor design, especially at the welding joints.

Tanasit,

I'd agree. It's basically the Cusco, without the trailing arms. And, the price is outrageous.
