Question Tanabe X-Brace Question...

Hey guys...I've searched through the suspension forums, but couldn't find anything on this...

Do any of you have the tanabe X-Brace? Does it compare with the neuspeed one?

Options Auto has it for $168, but I'm wondering if its worth paying the extra $10 over the neuspeed X-Bar from tornactive?

It looks pretty freakin stiff!!!

Anyways, if any of you have it, and like it...let me know

$85.50 , save some major cash.... but I don't know too much about it.
BTW... the photo on optauto probably isn't the the RSX bar... it's just a generic photo (Just a Guess... cuz that's a RWD tranny )

ok, THIS appears to be the one for our cars.

Not as good as the other one, nor as good as the neuspeed one!

I think I'll grab the neuspeed one

I don't think that's it either.... I've never seen a place for those 2 front bolts to attach.... I would e-mail a store that carries them and ask what the RSX/Civic bar looks like or get a pic.

Nopi online has been selling those for about 5 months already. I was going to get it but I wasn't sure about it. That is more of a U brace than an X brace, but hey they all do the same thing. The one in the last pic is probably what it will look like. The one in the first pic is two braces I think, not just one.

Yeah, NOPI has the following picture on their site: Click Me

Who knows what it really looks like though. Only when we know will we be able to make a purchase, so someone yell at Tanabe to post a picture. LOL
