It has plenty of clearance for a KA/SR setup, other engines may have issues depending on how it's routed.

If used turns up nothing, you might still be able to buy the brackets new. Looking on Nengun, here's part numbers. They don't say discontinued, but someone would have to place an order to find out...

Front Crossbar Assembly - 544B2-85F00

Rear Crossbar (subframe brace) - 554B2-85F03 (or 554B2-91F00)

Trunk Triangle brackets:
Rear Floor Stay Lh - 74845-85F00
Rear Floor Stay Rh - 74844-85F00

Trunk Bar Assembly - 79174-85F00

B-pillar brackets:
Floor Gasset Rh - 748B0-85F00
Floor Gasset Lh - 748B1-85F00

I'm more worried about my custom 3.5" dump pipe and screamer pipe getting in the way. Thanks for the part no. I'll look into it. I really feel like the front ladder brace will be beneficial

Update If anyone is still interested. I have now installed the rear subframe brace and the front ladder brace, both at different times. I started with the rear subframe brace and noticed an immediate difference with greater turn in response. I then installed the front ladder brace and notice further improvement to rigidity and turn in response. All in all both are highly noticeable and I wish I installed them sooner on in my ownership.

just to confirm, these 2 braces were 100% bolt in using factory munting areas and hardware?



which braces do have you installed and which ones made the most noticable difference, (besides these 2) ?

The front ladder brace needs rivnuts installed in order to mount. The subframe just replaces the cup washers and goes right on with no mods. The ladder brace was immediately noticeable, and was a big surprise to me.
