Default Review of Whiteline X-brace and STB

I recently acquired a Whiteline STB and X-brace. A good friend of mine let me use his lift which made install a breeze. My first impressions are . I thought that the S was a stiff car to begin with, but these two pieces really complete the package. The difference is not at all subtile. The car handles bumps much better than before. Cowl shake is non existant and the whole car just seems to be more planted to the road than before. I highly recommend these two upgrades to anyone who wants to upgrade the handling on an already superb handling automobile.

Moving to "S2000 Talk".
If you wish to post the step by step on how you put the brace on, please post back here.

The x-brace does help BUT the stb is only for looks - first we don't have struts, second there is a huge I beam under the factory airbox that cannot be strengthened with a bar on the top

more metal is more strength....the gains are just very very minimal compared to other cars. I am wondering Does anyone know what braces clear the 4IG cold air intake?

haga7584,
He just sold his to me. He is not a retailer for this product. Muz is a good guy. I would not worry at all about buying from him even if he is out of the country.
