EJ2 Oversteer H-Brace vs. F Lower Tie
Just curious what the majority would choose. Swaybar is not an option. I already opt for the H-Brace to help with my little problem, I hear it helps with wheel hop too.

Re: EJ2 Oversteer H-Brace vs. F Lower Tie
I experienced some (not fun) oversteer. Took a quick rounded 90 degree turn into yielding traffic and the rear got loose. Luckily I didn't hit anything. I'd say I was going about 55. I have a Type R suspension with strut tower bars on the front and rear and I didn't let off the throttle at all. So I decided I wanted some extra stiffness up front and I chose an H-Brace. I just wanted to see if people would do the same or go for a lower tie.

maybee check to see that you rear trailing arm bushings are in good condition. i know when mine started to go, the rear end of my car would get loose all of the time, and it was never predictable. switched them out for the hard rubber ones form suja motoring, and it has a nice, stable feel now. the rear will still step out a little bit now, but its predictable, and has actually let me corner harder now that im used to how the car feels again. personally, i like a bit of oversteer on sharper corners.

Yea my trailing arm bushings as well as the front lca bushings are as old as the car, I know I need to invest in some new bushings. I love a little oversteer too, just not that much, especially with oncoming traffic. Next time I need tires I'll probably get some stickier ones.
