S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

The whiteline definitely helps -- bumps in the road feel much more solid and absorbed via suspension, and the chassis doesn't get that jarring feeling. I love it.
Confirming 100% that it's possible to mount the cusco u brace and whiteline x-brace at the same time?

I don't own a CR, but have had the Spoon X brace on two of my S2000s, and fealt a real difference on turn in with added stability. I ran it with stock AP2 suspension the first time, and now run it with Spoon dampers and springs on my AP1. For the money it's a no brainier enhancement.

The x-brace is indeed an excellent upgrade to otherwise stock suspension (and likely aftermarket as well!)
I'm now most interested in the effects of adding the Cusco U-frame brace in addition to the x-brace.

I can confirm the Cusco U-brace fits at the same time as the Whiteline X-brace:

Hard to determine until I take it to the mountains but the car feels crisp and snappy. Not sure if the overall effect of the u brace is blended with the x brace. Redundancy issue perhaps.

That cusco brace is feather light. If anything in a car ballast sense maybe it helps balance the car given the audio system in the trunk and the drivers stock seat being replaced with recaro. Lol. That wasn't my intention with this part.
