I have the Cusco Ti Bar. Nice fit, VERY light, no hinges, no corrosion worries, looks good. How effective is it? Hard to say how effective it is since I have not performed any measurements (and I would guess noone else here has either). Certainly I felt a very noticable difference when I installed my X-brace, not sure I really noticed much when I added my STB. On the other hand, S2000 are not supposed to benefit "much" from a STB so my rational was get the lightest, decent fitting bar out there. The Cusco fits the bill. I like the Nuespeed bar best in terms of design, like the implimentation/material of the newer Comptech STB bar the best but in the end I did not think I would notice much from any STB. Ideal bar might resemble the Neuspeed STB except use cromoly steel or a stiffer Ti alloy like 6Al4V for the mounting points and CarbFi for the bars. Triangulation to the S2000 lower frame bar or to the firewall would be nice but instantly bump the car into SM or higher for AutoX. Also, I think Al would be an excellent material since it is light and stiff, just build it up enough to be bullet proof. IMHO, without actual measurments, this thread is similar to trying to answer the question: how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

I do not have an STB, but I have read on s2ki that if you tie a piece of string from tower to tower (tightly) and then go for a spirited drive, the string will have snapped by the time you get back.

 

many of you have said that this bar is useless on the s2000.

question: is it useless because of the design of the suspension or the design of the frame?
