I ran a search for X-brace, and there were quite a lot of postings about the front X-brace from Ricks, Spoon, Muz, and Neuspeed. Also, a lot of people posted about the rear lower-tie bar (the one that replaces the stock one). However, I didn't seem to be able to find any info on the rear X-brace from Spoon:

Does anyone have this piece (or any other rear X-brace)? If so, does it work well like the front one does?

Thanks.

 

Actually the one you have pictures is the X-brance that you have been reading up on. Ricks, Muz, Neuspeed, Comptech and Spoon all have their own variations of it. It dosn't replace anything.

There is no REAR X-brace, but there is a rear lower Tie bar that replaces the factory one...and Spoon, J's, Cusco and some other brands offer them...

 

I originally thought that there is no rear X-brace either, but then, if you look at the link from previous post, it says: "Spoon Cross Beam Bar (Rear) - Honda S2000 00-03 (AP1)" Then, there is a separate link for "Spoon Cross Beam Bar (Front) - Honda S2000 00-03 (AP1)"

The links are:

Front X-Brace http://www.aj-racing.com/catalog/product.p...4&cat=81&page=3
Rear X-Brace http://www.aj-racing.com/catalog/product.p...5&cat=81&page=3

So it doesn't seem like it's a typographical error and is suggesting that there are two separate X-braces -- one for front and one for back. Maybe Ben from AJ can shed some light on this ???

 

Looks to be an error to me....since they use the same picture for both with the same discription...To my knowledge there is no rear x-brace.

 

I see ... I guess I can shoot him a PM or email to let him know. I originally thought they were just lazy to take another picture hehehehe

Thanks.

P.S. Dang ... that got me excited for a while!!! (as in having a rear X-brace ...even though I dunno where holes would be ...)

 

Haha I was thinkin the same thing...there seem to be no place to put the x-brace in the rear...but if there really is one, I might pick one up to match the front one I have

 

I saw at bullet proof that there was a front and rear strut bar from cusco. Wow, never knew that they have a rear strut bar.... Picture doesn't even match the descriptions, it looks the same as the front strut bars.

 

Here's a link to spoon's website where they have pictures of the front X-brace, as well as their rear tie bar. Interesting that in one of the pictures showing an installed X-brace, it does not appear to be the one made by Spoon. Did they rre-design their X-brace?

huh, they also list 3 part numbers:

Cross Beam Assy
S2000 [AP1] 50300-AP1-000 ( I think this is the X-brace)

Cross Beam Bar (Front)
S2000 [AP1] 50250-AP1-000 (no idea what this is, it's not the STB)

Cross Beam Bar (Rear)
S2000 [AP1] 50400-AP1-000

 

They do have a rear strut bar...I have it. Its pretty pointless though since we have a bar there stock. You can see a picture of it in the group buy section that Gruppe S is running.
