Which is better in or your opinion to help me stiffen up my front end.

 

Anybody have any input ? I want to stiffen up my front end.

 

I've been autocrossing and tracking my S2000 (actually 2 of them) for years with stiff suspensions are sticky tires, and had a DiGrappa X-brace for a while. The DiGrappa brace was as good as an X-brace can be, but I don't think it did anything beneficial, so I don't use any aftermarket bracing now. What about your car makes you think you need it? Has it been wrecked?

 

Oh, to answer your question ...\

Since aftermarket chassis braces aren't needed on an unwrecked car, there really isn't such a thing as "better", unless "better" means cheaper, lighter, or prettier.

 

Simply put, the s2000's chassis is already stiff enough from the factory. Like Gernby said, they're def. not needed on an unwrecked car. Adding braces are going to be mostly cosmetic improvements with minimal benefits as far as improving the chassis. If you just want a stiffer front end get a swaybar.

Edit: This is worth the read... S2000 Comp Faq.

 

Good point about the sway bar, but it's important to note that if you are wanting to improve traction up front, then add a stiffer REAR sway bar. Simiarly, if you have too much traction up front, and want to improve traction in the rear, then add a stiffer FRONT sway bar.

 

I dont even know where to buy Cusco products from. Been trying to get their roll cage forever now

Sweet thanks. Pretty pricey

 

I am not planning as of right now a track my car( not wreaked ) but I heard other on forum that the braces add some support to the front end, partially bumpy and hilly roads. Any take on this ?
