a lot of people seem to hold that opinion, and I'm another s2ki-er who'd follow cdelena's advice, he's shared a lot of good insight on this board.

thats exactly what i did, i bought progressive spoon springs.. which is about a 1" drop which is barely noticeable, and i bought a MUZ brace because like wicky said its not an X like the spoon/digrappa.. plus its the most affordable and proven from what I've read from the auto-x ers..

I definitely noticed a difference with the xbrace, it felt much more planted to the ground on the regular street/highway, especially when you really yank it... it doesn't feel like the back is going to give out as easy... but i also widened the rears to 245 instead of the OEM 225 as well.. so that might have accounted for it as well...

I put in the STB last week... mainly for cosmetic because everyone did say that it didn't do a damn thing which is why honda just left it out... normally STB's are already installed on any sportier car like they're type r's etc... but they left it off the s2k because it wasn't really necessary with its already stiff suspension... BUT! after installing the STB, i noticed on highway driving... there seems to be oversteer now... i think its mainly because of the xbrace AND STB... im either going to remove the STB, OR get a rear muz sway... but i need to do a bit more driving before I decide...

the top two mods, is JDM convex mirror ($40) and the crease remover mod that some guy made recently... it removed all the creases from my plastic window ($10)
