are the tanabe sustec front under brace from tornactive.com and the tanabe sustec lower front tie-bar from optauto.com the exact same thing? this question has been plagueing me for a while.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Hmm, that's a good question.
They look different, but they might just be using a picture of another model brace. There's also a pretty good difference in price, but it just looks like optauto has a better price on that item. I'd say that they were the same thing, but maybe Rob could shed some light on this for us....

Man sorry i revived this thread but that last sustec pic is for the rear. not the front. There IS no picture of the sustec under brace for our car. Ive looked Everywhere. I even asked the sellers what it looked like. No clear answer.

I might get it and if i dont like it ill sell it and get the neuspeed. But im sure the neuspeed front upper and the tanabe under brace will work very well.

I think those are 2 different parts.. the first one is probably like 2 neuspeed x-brace, while the 2nd pic looks like that OEM honda support that 02's had that 01's didnt, the one that mounts under the steering linkage....

Oh I allready know they are two different parts. That second pic is a REAR lower tie bar. It will not fit our car. Its for a wrx i think, the pic above i belive is also for the wrx.
I may be wrong but ive heard nothing to say otherwise. none of the sellers i talk to have given me a straight answer about what it looks like.
