[QUOTE=Moddiction,Jun 30 2010, 09:38 AM] Most other braces do very little if anything to help.

Hahah yeah that's true. When I was NA I had a strut bar but ONLY bought it for something to grab on to and looks a little bit. But was only $30 shipped so not too rough on the wallet.

look in the racing forum. those guys know there way around a sway bar. you put a sway bar on the car to change the cars handling characteristics. if you dont drive beyond the limits of the stock bar, then dont waste your time.

if you dont know the difference between understeer and oversteer, dont bother buying it.

if you dont know how to tune the bar to make the car handle the way you want it to, dont bother buying it.

putting the bar on the car and having it setup wrong can make the car even more unbalanced then an ap1 already is. they are bump oversteer happy cars, but if you dont drive it hard enough to notice, then dont bother buying the bar.

i figured the swaybars would work but i have an ap1 , so id only use the front. Too bad the saner and ganador are over $1k, thats the problem..before dropping that kind of coin like to know it works
Gendron bars are by far the best. When I bought mine years ago it was $500 new. They are no where close to a grand.

I believe the spoon one is kinda in the way when draining oil. That's why I got the neuspeed one.

The CR steering brace, recommended by Honda. If they could have slapped another brace on the car they would have, but they didn't, exc. at the rear, where you can't have a soft top.
