Mugen doesn't make too many braces, simply anti-roll bars, which are better made by Spoon anways. If you want bars, go with Spoon, but seriously, it doesn't make a big difference.

The only bar that really felt a difference was the X-bar, my strut bar did nothing but cosmetic appeal, but I imagine it helped in conjunction with the X-bar.

Cusco makes a bad-ass chassis brace, very nice, Shamu, I think is selling his.

actually mugen doesn't make any chasis braces. they only make the bars. the spoons are smaller and dial in... well, characteristics for a particular driver. personally I prefer a non-adjustable mugen or comptech front bar only.

the x-braces/shock tower bars etc. are described with pictures in the library.

how much was your x-brace, and does anybody have any idea all the braces and bars would be?

The X is around 160 I believe but vheck with mingster to be sure of that.

The real ticket would be the front and rear spoon braces in conunction with the cusco bars. I hope to do that as soon as I find a vendor or a shop that can replicate the cusco bars if I can;t get them shipped as they are really large items.
