I have heard that these bars do nothing to help the handling of the S2000. That part of the frame doesn't need any stiffening. The X-brace that goes underneath the car does help, but the shock tower brace is just for cosmetic purposes.

it looks like an exact copy of the Neuspeed.

but yeah, it's not going to do much for stiffness.

they do little, no matter what you get. I believe complimented with an x-brace down below, they do a bit of good. how much is subjective. but remember, with our chassis, we dont need much reinforcement up there - especially since we don't have struts. =)

I was thinking either Rick's brace or Muz's brace. Any comments on both? I'm thinking more towards Muz b/c I can afford it but if it is worth it to shell out the extra money for Rick's I would.

I have the Whiteline STB from Muz as well as the Whiteline cross brace and am happy with it, Again the STB doesn't do much without the lower cross brace - The only thing I didn't like about the Whiteline stb was the ends only come in yellow and it didn't look good in my engine bay but that was easily fixed with a can of red paint - looks nice now !
