Hi Guys
I was wondering if anyone knows the actual dimensions of the Cusco rear lower arms.
I will try to make a DIY ones until my order will be shipped coz i have serious issues with the car 😁

Define ´serious issues´. These rear lower arm supports (like the TRD ones) only add a reinforcement to the anchor points by triangulating them. If you have play on the bushes they do nothing to improve handling instability.

The parts in the pic are not control arms, they're chassis braces.

Thanx for replying man. Can you help me with the dimensions of the product that is shown in the pic?

The parts in the pic are not control arms, they're chassis braces.

They are braces that go between the two lower control arm fixtures on the chassis/subframe.
So call them rear chassis braces of lower control arm brace as you please.
They ´triangulate´ the two and are quite noticeable if the rest is nicely taught. I have the TRD braces fitted.

Yes, that's why I said they are "braces", not "rear lower arms"". Per the BGB, there are 2 "rear lower suspension control arms" per side, #'s 1(locates the hub in relation to the chassis center line) & 2(the toe arms). The braces shown in the op's pic do indeed "triangulate" the chassis, not the rear lower control arms.
Call them correctly.

Whatevvah you want to call them; chassis braces as you did or what; the proof of the puddin´ is in pushin´ the envelop of handling fun.

The TRD ones weigh in at 1099 gram and make a lót of difference. Them´s one of six supports (on a pfl) I rate worthwhile.

The others are the brace between the front shock towers, Snelbaard´s front lower suspension frame, Snelbaard´s frame between the tow belly pans and I rate Dev´s door spacers highly as those take up slack at the door locks.

Lastly a cilinder head support/engine torque brace. While you at it with the latter do fill the engine mounts with p.u. These two mods will transmit more engine vibrations to the tub but they keep the rear a lót more stable under engine load changes in a corner.

Have fun, flógging the cheerful spyder through the twisties!

Sorry, but they are chassis braces...I didn't give them that name...and yes, they do a great job of stiffening the rear chassis area.
I have the rear, lower TRD braces, but I have a Moroso oil pan, so not sure if the right-side bar will fit.
When purchased, my Spyder had a front&rear stb's. I added a TRD front lower brace, + plus a Corky's breast plate.
An engine torque brace would be good addition also.

As far as having fun, flogging my Spyder thru the twisties, I do that often, + I organize predominately driving, little talking, meets, the most recent 2 weeks ago. Too bad there's a little pond between us!

Enjoy!!!
...and concerning the pond, no worries; I did the club things in the previous life. Am life time honorary member of a motorbike one.
This life the driving is solo fun. Taking charming company along is fun too but for scrubbing sideways.... best solo. Living in Touge heaven (the properly mountainous andalucian heartland) is the reason why I bought the ZZW30 😍 ánd why a single car ´caravan´ is quite enough.
