We tested the Korbach unit last year & couldn't see any significant changes on a civic si. Perhaps a different chasis would have yielded different results with the 3 drivers testing.

Spend the money on better brake pads, lines, sway bar, or tires. These will definately give you opportunity to drive the car faster if your skills are up to it. Whether the chasis flexes or not.

There are many of those (types) of braces on eBay; they sell alot of them....I do not see how it could hurt, but as for actual performance.....? I dunno. However, there must be someone that can give un-biased feedback here

you choose your upgrade solely on bling?

If you want to go fast, learn it from the fast guys. If you want to go bling, you're in the wrong forum.

Most of the Japanese guys I've seen run a lot of other useless junk too.
