maybe you havent heard of this brace

d3 designs double xbrace.. 6 mounting points compared to 4 on the neuspeed...

here what it looks like



it is available on www.dthreedesigns.com

i was the first em2 ever with this brace... i tsted fitment for d3 because they were unsure if it will fit an em2 but i can confrm it will

heres pics of it on my car:





anyways nice stuff.. justt bad choice on the brace
this brace costs only $215 + 35 shipping but if you ever break it, smash it they WILL replace it!!!!! go search on ClubRSX for people who tried this warranty

NOTE: i must say.. this **** is a BISH to install.. i suggest if you install this brace to go from the front lower control arms.. then to the subframe bolts and to the final bolts under the floorboard.. the floorboardbolts may not line up but you can use a screwdriver and use one hole to algn it while u screw the other bolt in the other hole.. this is how stiff this brace is haha

I bought mine off someone in Toronto for $160CAD (brand spanking new)

I was actually thinking about it but I got the x-brace for cheap so I couldnt pass it up. By the time the d3 one makes it to Toronto, it would end up costing close to $300 CAD for me

the X brace serves a different purpose.... it's more in the lines of strut bars, which are chassis braces. For daily use, upgrades sway bar makes more of a difference.

Learn to drive poperly and tune what you have to its utmost, and you wont have to spend a dime to be able to out corner someone.

Congrats Tim, welcome to the land of 120km/h onramps, he he he.

I have both an Xbrace and rear sway, I put the X on at the same time as my coilovers so I don`t have a reference for with/without on my current setup. However I did swap the 22mm rear sway in last year and it's freakin solid. Watch out for raised manhole covers! There's one at Yonge and 401, heading north in the rightmost lane....almost weekly I clank my X off it, it shakes the whole freakin car.

Did you get the DC5-R 22mm bar from Canada?

I want one, but don't feel like paying twice the price for the shipping and custom fee!
