Without numbers, you'll have a hard time convincing me an aftermarket piece like that would help unless Honda did a poor job with the design of the chassis. I say snake oil.

It's an 04, it could use a bit of stiffness. (Yes, I race mine and I drove an '04 so this is an educated opinion)

You love bashing the MY04 - it is in many of your posts. What in the MY04 suspension mods makes you think that it is a dramatic downgrade in the handling department? Is it the stiffer front springing, the bigger tires and wheels, the better planted rear, the stiffened chassis gussets? What? I thought we had moved on months ago. I have driven both cars, and I agree there is no comparison - I favor the MY04, but do not stick it to every vintage owner every chance I get.
