So I am planning on doing a write-up on the construction and install of it, and do some before and after pictures, so I did not want to ruin those by showing what I got, but I just had to share. I just got the second package yesterday... It is my Cusco 3 Point Rear Upper Strut Bar for my S13 Hatch, also known as the Cusco OS-T. The instructions are in Japanese and only have like 3 pictures, but I am pretty sure I can figure out how to take care of it, only thing I have to worry about is the Torque of the bolts... since I can not read them, I will just have to be careful. It will be a good writeup because the instructions and JDM TYTE YO and there are things needed like Drilling and removeal of the deadening Tar and such. Whoot, Custom Title.
Think Its Ok?

Re: (whiterps13)
Oh, thats what I forgot to add. There was no money out of pocket spent on these. The Upper OS, I had the person who is buying my parts car order it for me. The Lower 3 Point Brace, I purchased an INJEN Intake/DOHC MAFS/Filter for $45.00 Shipped and had someone to buy it from me for $160.00 before I even received the package... So basically Free
(The person buying my parts car also received another 3 Point Brace today in the mail for some reason... Lucky Bastard )

There's nothing magic about torque, and most fasteners aren't tightened to any actual torque value. However, here's a good ballpark guide:http://www.dansmc.com/torque_chart.htm
Many others are scattered across the web.
