Rear Lower Brace
Having read various threads on upgrading the braces on the S, there seems to be a split between those who notice a difference after changing the rear lower, and those that don't. Having fitted a Spoon brace, I can't see much difference. I have also read comments to the effect that the rear of later cars has been made stiffer. Does anyone know whether that included a stronger rear lower brace, and if that is the reason why an upgraded brace doesn't seem to make much difference to these cars?

The lower rear brace is the same regardless of MY. I'd uprate it personally, I find when the back end steps out of line the updated brace makes this feel more progressive rather than just snap oversteer.

I don't believe Honda changed the flimsy rear brace on the 140-series cars. They did beef up the front one.
So, an X-brace probably has less on an improvement than on the 100-130 cars. But I should imagine a rear one will have the same unbelievable effect on the breakaway sensation.
I was sceptical until I tried it too.

Yes.
I have a cusco one which is a steel "D" shape tube/pole.
Made a noticeable difference. Can't comment on other makes, although I think ultraracing braces are good? The white ones?
