i didnt think that i-beam was even connected to the strut tower area

You can feel a difference over very rough surfaces with the bar installed.. There is less body shake transmitted to the wheel. I have done more than one back to back test.

Seems to me that when I had a set of piezoelectric accelerometers on Electra for 3 months, during the developement and testing of both Richard's (Import Developement) Mark's (DiGrappa) X-Braces, that an STB did make a noticeable difference in chassis displacement? I would recommend both an X-brace and an STB but then it is just my opinion based on a few million bits of road data....the input of 6 tranducers, 6 charge amplifiers, and 1 data recorder.

 

There's always one thing in my mind about STB for S2k.

Mugen didn't release a STB for it so far... but Mugen has STB for almost every other Honda car (Integra, RSX, Civic, etc)

I'm not saying S2k doesn't really need a STB, there should be some reasons why Mugen didn't make one, as a STB should be MUCH more easiler to do than the intake or exhaust.

it's hard to make that arguement true by basing marketing techniques of Mugen. To all their own, if you don't have one, don't say the car doesn't need one b/c the chassis is stiff enough or it wont make a difference. Many have said the car's chassis is stiff enough and a cage is useless. First drive a car on a road circuit without chassis stiffening mods, then drive one that is reinforced. With both cars running some kind of competition tires, you WILL notice a difference in handling. Then again, it's just my opinion.
