Just find the one with the best price. I have the Spoon brace and I do my own oil changes. To avoid spilling oil all over the brace, just use a piece of cardboard or plastic overlay to funnel the oil around the brace. If you can save money at very little inconvenience, why not? Use the additional bux toward another mod.

I have Spoon , the performance is excellent.

Oil change issue , why you have to do it yourself ? You paid 30k for the car and you don't want to pay $10 for oil change ? Just wondering.

Kodokan_4 has the digrappa, and like it because there are NO welds, all one piece, but it is a lot more $$

For the satisfaction of doing it myself, and doing a job well. I don't pay some punk $10 to make love to my wife either...... For 35k the Honda falls into the garage mechanic range IMO. Now if I owned a Ferrari 360, that would be another story......hmmmm......no, I'd wanna work on that too....

PS: I know they're not really punks.....most of them.....

PPS: I like the MUZ.... more brace, less X

Did you guys notice any difference in normal driving around town after replacing the stock bars with these. Did you think it was worth it to do this?
Thanks.

I have the Digrappa. It is nice! But the price is about 2x as much. If you do a search, you will find a picture of a hand polished one.


I cannot say if it does a better job that the others, probably about the same. I bought it because the quality is obvious.
Mark takes a 60 lb sheet of alumium, and has it cut to shape. No welds to break, no rust, no bending. It is solid, and meant to last!
