that thing is a POS. I had it on and eventially it broke the tac welds where the front LCA's are. I had to dremel through the subframe just to get to where the tac welded bolt was to get a wrench on it to tighten it back up. It didnt do much for me, and scrapped everywhere. It also made changing oil harder.

i mean harder as in the H brace goes right where you hand reaches up to get the filter. You can get around it, but not when the cat is hott.

There's one other thing Honda could learn from Toyota: how to design hubs so that you can replace wheel lugs without having to take anything apart. I did this once on a '90 Corolla and it was easy: jack up the corner of the car, take off the wheel, and then just rotate the hub so the bad stud is lined up with a cut-out, and hammer out the stud.
