Doesnt do a thing, the Cusco brace is attached with a small 10mm bolt or whatever.. if you honestly think that will stiffen anything then I will sell you a wooden lower tie bar for 50 bucks.

BTW I have the cusco... waste of money.

 

Yup, wouldn't have gone with the X-brace or Subframe, but it was recommended by someone who was eventually outed as not knowing handling from a hole in the wall.



I would NOT recommend these mods to anyone on a budget.

 

I agree. Getting the biggest bang for the buck is highly dependent upon focusing the money where it will make the biggest difference.

Ckit, can I play devils advocate? Are you guys saying that it is impossible to hit a bump hard enough to get the S2000 chassis to flex? I'll bet I can crash an S2000 (your's not mine ) into bumps hard enough to break things. How hard can I hit a bump without breaking something, and if I'm hitting bumps that hard, will I, or will I not, see some cowel shake or other signs of chassis flex? Honestly, all joking aside, I really don't know, because I'd never smash into a bump that hard, but we don't have any idea of how some of these people drive or the kinds of roads they're driving on. Do you think it's possible that they're smashing the car into bumps hard enough to see chassis flex without busting things? If that's possible, then might it also be possible that some forms of chassis bracing might actually reduce what they're observing?

It still looks like trying to control the weather with a butterfly to me, but I have no experience crashing into huge bumps hard enough to flex a chassis like our X-bone and never will, so I can't really say for sure.
Can you?

Exactly. People spend $75 on a Mugen oil cap... $100 more for something that might do something isn't bad.

 

[QUOTE=CKit,May 25 2007, 01:31 AM]So those people saying, "The stock body is so rigid that no bracing needed" are not driving hard enough.
