tie bars and brace
checked out corsport and saw the tie bars and underbody brace. just wondering if i didn't have no other suspension mods. will it still benefit me? like will i feel an improvement overall in the handling?

chassis brace's will not change the your cars handeling, if any . tie bars ,strut bars all that stuff its more or less gives your car a diffrent feel "stiffer" if you want to make your car better handeling work on your suspension. shocks,springs,coil-overs,swaybars, sticky tires,alignment

Re: tie bars and brace (civic710)
i had the front and rear lower tie bar with hbrace before i got lowered. only because i got them for real cheap. its not going to help at all, lol. plus you run the risk of warping your paint near the quarter pannels (so i was told) being your car is too stiff compared to the ride height.
my advise, get them, and drop the car as soon as you can.

They won't change the handling of the car? Isn't that their EXACT purpose? Stiffening up the car = less body 'roll' / flexing of the car = better handling characteristics. At least, that's how I understand it..

Re: tie bars and brace (elohel)
so, the debate begins again about whether or not chassis bracing helps on a modern chassis.

that is the theory behind it. on an old DA integra sure chassis bracing will help because it was designed 18 years ago. so the real question is do they provide any benefit for our cars.
discuss. lol

Re: tie bars and brace (civic710)
I don't think you'll feel a thing unless you driving it hard everyday and hug every single corner you come across really fast. As far as handling goes, it'll help your chasis not getting possible bending from autoX and stuff, and that's pretty much it.
You don't really need those for daily driving, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless the car is driven to it's limit. But they look nice under the car though, and give you more confident while cornering fast.
