Default Spacers to fit front bracing without U frame?
Just wondering if these are available anywhere? I want to fit the Cusco brace I have but I removed my U frame and it won't sit correctly without it. This surprises me, seeing as they're a Japanese brand and JDM cars don't usually have the U frame!

Only the Spec C came without it.

OK. Any word on spacers or do I need to look for Spec C specific bracing instead?

the only problem with not having it is if your car needs recovering at any time -as the tow hook is built in to it.
