Hey just browsing through ebay and came across the super cheap u braces for the S2000. It is just metal so wondering if these can help out with chassis flex at all? Any improvement in handling or less body roll?

U Brace

 

Also how about this? Stiffen anything actually?

Rear tie bar.

 

Is that for real? $22.95?

 

that first "U" bar looks like a cheap version of the cusco bar. it may do something, but wont be as effective as an X-brace. as for the other one.. is it just me, or is it hollow?

 

Yeah if it does help out even a little bit it is worth it at that price. Do these usually interfere with oil changes or anything like that?
Can these be installed by just jacking the car up? I ask because I know with some car it is not good to do when jacking up since it causes the body to flex some.

 

Yeah did look at that rear lower tie bar again and it does look like it is hollow right at the end. I think I'll pass on that one haha.

 

just buy a real x-brace instead of cheaping out. it might get in the way slightly, but with my spoon x-brace i can still do the oil changes fine. just drips on the bar a little.

 

and these wont really improve handling really, just stiffen the chassis.

 

Well I will be going with a front sway bar as well, so figured maybe this would help reduce some of the body roll my car has. Really sways in the turns right now.

 

If the welds are good quality I really don
