You can't really see an xbarce. It's hardly for looks.

 

Your right foot corrects understeer / oversteer in a bend.

Chassis rigidity has little effect on vehicle balance while steady state cornering.

 

Placebo

 

Did not make a difference on your S2k?

 

The original owner of my car said it made a diffrence. He could really tell on tight corners.


How can it be for looks if you cant see it?

 

I have a cusco version 2 one and when I used to drive on and off my drive way (I live on a street with those rounded curbs on the whole street instead of the normal driveways and 90 degree curbs) my car used to creak. Now it doesn't anymore, feels really solid. And going over potholes, it used to make a loud crash sound, now it's just a tiny crash sound. Overall does make the car feel more solid, like one piece. Can't comment on handling, as I didn't drive that hard before I got the brace. But at $150, cusco is the cheapest.

 

Rick makes an X-Brace as well:

Hmmm...

Yeah, the right foot does control understeer / oversteer... Just stating what I've experienced after adding the x-brace (from Muz). Couldn't believe it myself, but when you blast around the same on your daily commute... and its different after adding a component... well.

If you're familiar with DC, its the GW Parkway merge onto 495 towards VA. Always a reliable place to pull out to the right and take the bend at 50-60+... yeah, so I'm a wuss.

 

they are way expensive imo, anyone want to sell me a comptech unit for cheap?

 

^I'll sell you a Spoon one cheap and then I can get the CT one. Deal?
