while I didn't notice a handling improvement with the front spoon x-brace, I did notice a difference over bumps, rail road tracks, and potholes. However I was weary of the rear spoon lower tie bar, b/c there is no noticable difference with it, and it is incomplete (needs 3 additional holes drilled). I have recently developed my own rear brace, which is a great complement to the front one. While the car still has the same great handling manner, I've noticed an improvement in the rear on load (tires stay planted), over bumps, and a reduced tendency for the rear to bump steer over on turns over bumps.

While our s2000's have a wonderfully engineered and stiff chassis, our subframes can still benefit from reinforcement.
