Default X Brace

Looking to buy an x brace for my s very soon. i can find the spoon x brace for about $195 + shipping. However i see that the DiGrappa Brace is a little better design, but i cant find it. Anyone know where i can find this one for a good price, or any other ones??? thanks

I'd like a few people with more than one brace to post up pictures of them fitted.

I'd like the brace that goes over the front struts at the top, yet crosses down to the lower front subframe by asm, but i don't know if it'll clear the mase turbo kit.

I'd also like the brace that goes on the rear subframe that links to, i think, the back of the rear diff, but again, next to no-one appears to have it fitted.

Anyone?

On the subject of the lower x brace by spoon, i'd have thought the one sold by muz was better from an oil change pov but not necessarily strength.

the DiGrappa Brace is no longer made, you have to get one used, and the used price usually is around 275-300 depending on the seller.

i have ricks x brace and a j's racing front strut tower bar installed. I can maybe get some pictures of those once i get home, but really there are a lot of pictures of stuff like that on here.

This Neuspeed came from Ebay. I forgot the store's name, but I think it was $195. A noticable difference through hard turns. It came with stainless metric allen bolts and has no oil change issues.

You may want to look at the MUZ (https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=366496) brace. I have it installed. No issues with oil changes.

When you look at the page, make sure you put in USD. He is in Australia. Shipping is super-fast. I have a number of his products and highly recommend.

I've had the Neuspeed for years. It is a great alternative to many of the over-priced lower braces out there. It does the same job and is oil change friendly. However, that deal for the Comptech is great (if true). Heck I'll buy one and you can have my Neuspeed for $50. It'll "match" my Comptech Intake and Ti-Strut Bar.

The design of the Neuspeed, Spoon and Comptech are nearly identical.
