Default Front lower tie bar installation

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have a picture of where I install a front lower tie bar? For the life of me I couldn't see where it goes. I bought a 5 piece set off ebay. I did the H-Brace, Rear upper and lower, and front upper with no problems.

I have a 1999 Civic coupe

Thanks for your help.

I find this hard to believe no one has a lower front tie bar I guess I will try and be creative with it. Honestly though, with the H-Brace and upper tie bar its tight enough to have fun with.

lol, sorry bud, the lower tie bar goes where your H brace is. The two joints are where the LCAs meet the subframe.

So, the H brace is the step up from the lower tie bar.

That's interesting. So what I have is not a front lower tie bar, its much longer then the LCA sub-frame joints. This must be a C-Pillar bar. Well that solves that The auction I bought this from didn't mention it included a C-Pillar. Thanks for the pic.
