Default Rear lower brace

Before I look into getting my geometry set I want to fit a rear lower brace.

What different options are there? I have done a search but couldn't find the info I was after.

I've got the MeisterR coilovers but I've seen people saying that a rear brace tightens up the back end. True? I've also read that the front braces don't really make a lot of difference?

Thanks
Ryan

Some people have made their own up, the OEM is just a flimsy bit of U channel with some holes drilled in it.

Cusco do a good one, Ebay ones are debatable if the metal used is strong enough but are cheapest, J's make an overcomplicated one.

The OEM one flexes when you lean on it so god knows what it does when you're cornering hard! I like the BEAKS one but can't find a UK supplier. I contacted TEGIWA Imports a couple of weeks ago and they have said they will be making one soon for the S that's like the BEAKS and will come in a choice of anodised colours much like the ones they already supply for other Hondas

I will do Ryan once I have a difinitive on when they will start producing parts. I'm impatient though so may order a BEAKS one in the next couple of weeks if they say its going to be longer

If you decide to do that let me know, we could possibly save on some postage.

Sounds like we could ask about a group buy.
