X Brace

I have been reading old posts on the Neuspeed X Brace and some of you said that it hits when going over bumps. I have been through all of this with my Progress sway bar and my exhaust sitting on it- had to end up cutting exhaust and rewelding it.
So that I don't have to do that again, what is the maximum drop your cars can have before it starts to hit? I have about 1" w/ the Eibach pro kit....
Any help guys?

HondaLuver will become famous soon enough
i am at stock height and i was hitting, well thats because the place where i park is umm, a tight squeeze in a underground parking lot made in the early 1900's... haha... actually it wasn't a parking lot it was a banquet hall then they turned it into a parking lot...

Yeah only 1" Eibach claimed- and this was just with me in the car- I am only 115# girl.
I want the brace but I DO NOT want to go through the crap I went through before- it sounds like s*&t when it hits!
So opinions, worth it or not? I found one on sale for about $130 and want to get it for myself for Christmas

So then I guess I should just wait and tighten up w/ the Teins and upper rear strut and front sway- any other suggestions? There is nothing worse than a car that can't handle esp when it is a faster car that can't- suggestions?

I'd wait until after the teins/struts/sway bar. I think your car will handle just fine. Make sure your struts are adjustable. This will help a lot. If you still think you need the x brace after all that, then get it, But I don't think you will! Tell me how those Teins feel when you get them on.

riding with neuspeed sports and car hits only when hitting a dip in the road, one of the worst noises I've ever heard.
