Anyone removed the flimsy undercar brace?

I threw away the hex bolts the Cusco came with and used these instead:

Also, the torque spec for the 8 bolts on the flat part is 28nm or 21 ft-lbs and the 2 E14 bolts at the rear corners are 56nm or 41 ft-lbs.

What was wrong with the Cusco one?

What was wrong with the Cusco one?

The Cusco supplied hex bolts are easily stripped. I nearly did trying to properly torque them.

did any one here had installed the cusco brace and aftermarket exhaust that had vibration or rattles after a couple days of driving?

Do you still have the manual for the Cusco brace? Would you mind sending me some pics? Bought a used one with no manual.

Sorry I don’t but I just went hand tight and checked it recently. Still tight. The rear bolts didn’t fit so I used the OEM bolts with the cheap looking bar on the 2022. Worked & looks great!

yes it does nothing
what do those loser engineers at BMW/Toyota GR know about chassis development

Everyone on this forum knows more than the engineers, we don't have to listen to them. We know what we're talking about.
