Default Front Bracing

I'm considering the addition of a front tower brace and a front lower brace for my 06 S2000. However, some have reported that the effects are really minimal while others have reported incredible results. Please share your experiences.

front lower x-brace works wonders for me. feels stiffer and more solid.

what doesn't produce results is front upper strut bar.

i like my MUZ lower brace. i wouldnt pay full price for it now with the current price and inflation, i got mine used and in fine shape.

i felt a difference. its just chassis stiffening. it doesnt do "wonders". it just stiffens the chassis particularly where it could benefit. it takes out some of the lower frequency harmonics and gives a bit quicker response to dynamic changes. the car feels a bit more solid basically.

i dont see a front strut bar doing much with the huge crossmember already spanning across the engine bay.

I have a Spoon STB and a Muz/Whiteline lower brace. Can't say enough good things about them... reduced the bumpsteer even more, and keeps the front end predictable. Bumps don't upset the car as much when you brake deep into a corner. Definitely worth all $200.

muz brace used for 100 buck, you can tell the difference back to back.

however the upper front brace is more for bling
