Default Strut tower brace and Lower cross brace

I would like to do a little bit of upgrading to my suspension/handling for the 2000 S
I notice that there are a few different strut tower, single piece, multi piece etc. Single is better right? As for Lower cross braces, what would be a good one to get.

I wanna do this only once so getting a part and having it get in the way of another added part down the road would just piss me off.
EX: a certain type of STB that hits a CAI or a SC...

If you guys have pics please post them and mabye wear you got them too

Thanks guys

OH...anything for the rear?

The S2000 actually doesn't benefit from having a front tower bar (due to its frame's design), and it actually has an upper and a lower strut bar in the rear.

There are many posts that talk about X-brace/lower cross brace. Just to name a few, Spoon, Rick's, Muz, and Neuspeed are the common choices. T1R makes a weird looking vertical X-brace/tower bar too!

You're better off upgrading the sway bars.

You have an AP1, right? A lot of people with AP1's seem to like to upgrade just the front strut bar with a Mugen one. They leave the rear one stock.

You could also go with an adjustable Comptech one, but they're way more expensive.

The front tower bar probably does nothing, other than look cool and give you something to lean on. I have a red ASM one and love it, but I'm not fooling myself about it's usefulness.

I have that new T1R X-tower bar. Don't really feel a difference, but it looks cool.
