Default front Bracing q?

does anyone know who makes this brace?



Looks interesting, and I wonder how much it would stiffen the front end...

Im guessing that it would be made by Cusco just from the color. In my opinion bracing really is beneficial. If you have ever looked under the S2K you will see OEM bracing bars under the rear of the exhaust and towards the front near the engine. It would probably be more beneficial to further brace these areas.

Where did you find that pic? I see the Spoon valve cover & ASM intake (?), which makes me think it might be one of ASM's one-off braces.

Yeah I've seen this site before, it's been a while though. This guy's car is ridiculously sick.

I *think* that the brace is either a Cusco brace not sold in the US, or a custom JUN brace -- check out this website (an amazing source of general JDM S2000 tuning, has a ton of pics of JUN reinforcing a subframe!):

Damn, you waited a long time to post this picture I had to dig through months of previous blog postings judging by the image #

He doesn't specify what kind of brace it is, obviously.
It does look like an undercarriage brace, just mounted on the front.
Could be a cusco unit, as everyone else has mentioned, in the '93-'97 RX-7 application.
