I have the DiGrappa also. I am happy with it, but it is definitely my least noticeable mod. My car has been stiff since the day I bought it. I could not tell a difference with the brace installed, since it seemed rock solid before the brace. I expect that the brace will be more beneficial as the chassis ages.

I have the DiGrappa as well. Excellent quality. I did notice a difference upon installation. Chassis felt stiffer and steering seemed more precise (even though I wasn't expecting a noticeable difference). Good luck.

I had the Spoon. Sold it and bought the Muz. Actually I offered for someone to buy the Muz and have it shipped to me and I would send them the Spoon.

Why? I wanted the better product.

The Muz brace is lighter, more rigid, cheaper, and better looking (just ask the roadkill).

Oh there definitly are places that I would trust doing an oil change in my car and do it right................though do I want to pay $50+ for an oil change. NO. I use synthetic oil too so its right there $30 already.(23 for oil and ~5 for filter)

I can vouch for the MUZ brace...Nice design, no oil change problems, great price and service! Made a huge difference IMO. Phil

now not to change subject...but with the neuspeed X-brace, would a Neuspeed Strut bar be most optimum or would there be any difference if i did install a Spoon strut bar. Also, how would a HOnda dealership deal with a SPoon Xbrace...would they also run into the problem if draining the oil out or do they use different tools or soemthing....
