For those with an AP2 and a Xbrace, does it really help when driving on crappy roads? I've read lots of posts saying yes and no..was wondering if there was a definitive answer.

I feel really unplanted when driving over potholes, freeway expansion joints, and other non-smooth surfaces...especially if it involves any turning. I always assumed that this was just the S2000 suspension and nothing to do with the chassis.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

 

i doubt your car (or any car/motorcycle) will feel planted if you are hitting potholes, unsmooth freeway joints, and other crappy road conditions while trying to take turns. thats just the nature of the road, not the car.

the xbrace will stiffen up your chassis and you may or may not feel it, just depends on how sensitive you are to your machinery. adding the x-brace will not help conditions when driving over crappy roads/potholes/freeway joints.

 

I've cusco u brace and it makes a difference coming out of corners. Cusco 3pc. floor bar works really good braking into or braking at the corners. You might want to try a 4pt strut bar too.

 

i have the cusco U brace, and felt a very noticeable difference over rough roads. the car feels a lot more solid over uneven terrain.

 

It will help on all the road conditions that you describe, but unfortunately it won't fix your roads!
