Default Lower and Rear Strut bars

OK guys, I've been looking around at the lower x-brace and rear brace for some time now. I finally came upon this today and wanted to see if anyone heard anything on these from Cusco.

http://www.modacar.com/products/Honda/S2000/MODASTB/

if you page down a bit at that site, you'll see the Cusco x-brace (looks like the Whiteline brace) and the rear brace. What do you guys think? Best price I've seen so far. I'll probably order them in the next few days unless I hear bad stuff on these 2 braces. Thanks guys for your input!

I hope you know that those rear strutbar/ rear lower bars will hardly do anything. The car comes with rear strut/ rear lower bars stock. Its just jdm bling. hey if you like em, go for it.

I went with a spoon x-brace/speed rear tie bar...like mark said, for the most part it's JDM bling...i'm sure it helps a little but to where you install it and are just amazed at the difference...Cusco seems to be a good product for the price

I'm definitely not buying these for the bling, especially since no one can see them anyways. I'd rather save up my hard earned $$ for the comptech SC, but blowing $150 on the front brace bar is nothing compared to the SC. I have heard that the front x-brace does help and I looked at mine underneath and did some investigation, it's just a sheetmetal brace underneath and also the locals say it did help their car out while on the rough twisties. I just wasn't sure about the side and rear bars that Cusco has also that I seldom see Group Buys for. But the way this cusco is designed kinda like a D looking brace, seems like all the flex points are considered unlike the X one's like Comptech, Rick's, and such. Keep on adding to this thread if you think I'm wrong, I have no problems with that, just like to hear everyone's opinion on this matter. Thanks guys.

Oh yeah, you gotta come down for the Cincy meet on June 4th, there's a thread on it and I'm leading it too.

I bought a used spoon for 90 bucks. It does help on bumpy roads and rail road tracks in keeping cowl shake down. I drive my S hard enough that I do feel a difference on the track with it.
