Rep Power: 380 So ony the much over hyped/priced spoon makes one eh? Probably runs in the $150+ range...
The problem with building one is that I can only do it at my dads shop, and I dont get down there but for a weekend every couple of months (They live in San Diego)

Rep Power: 0 Ask Boiler, but I'm sure I could design one with Pro/E that couldn't be machined... 
But seriously, if it's anything like the rear, I bet you could fab one up. Maybe if you came up with a design you could see if anyone else in the area has access to a machine shop.

Rep Power: 424 Get me the dimensions and the diameter of the bolt it attaches to. I can rig something up.
Making a spoon knockoff is easy... their stuff isn't a marvel of engineering as I've discovered.

Rep Power: 412 Sorry Spencer, took it off and sold it. What points do you need the measurements for? There were 4 bolts attached to it. 2 when into the front on the control arm and 2 went into the subframe.

Rep Power: 412 Yeah, the x brace doesn't brace to the chassis like a tie bar does. Completely different holes. You need the holes that are similar to the ones in the rear, correct?

Rep Power: 380 It shouldnt stick out any more then the Neuspeed X brace.... they use 2 of the same mounting points.
I assume that this is the proper mount location??

Rep Power: 380 Ya, the photo is from when I changed bushings.
The only problem I forsee is that the bolt that I need is Recessed a bit, so It wont be a direct bolt on, but rather a bracket will need to be made.

Rep Power: 412 K. I got some measurements. From the middle of the bolts it is 87.5cm across and you will have to recess it about 2cm.
