IMO, unless you often drive your car near its limits its something your not going to notice very much. whether or not its worth your money depends on how fat your wallet is if i had the money i would get it.

hrmm....are YOU as a DRIVER not getting any faster, or your car

im willing to put money on it you can get WAY faster if you improve on your skill rather then your car...but anyway, shyt, 88 bucks, i spend more then that on a pair of jeans. go get it then. and come back and give a review. alot fo people contemplate getting those braces but many mixed reviews and opinions usually discourage them.

and btw, incase you dont already know, power potential for the F22 is only worthwhile with forced induction, N/A is expensive and usually not worth it. or there is the H22 swap. but with your automatic transmission you wont be able to put down much power safely anyway, so unless you want tog o big and do a manual swap and turbo or swap, just work on your handling to amke your car fun to drive and atleast fast int he corners, cause the corners is where it counts

yeah i agree with Pos......if your banging round the track every weekend its totally worth it to get the underbrace. But for a daily driver i think the issue falls in ground clearance. I bought a Cusco under-brace for my coupe and i lost another 1 and 1 quarter inches of ground clearance. I really didn't find it to be beneficial. I ended up taking it off. The uni-body design with independent suspension of the accords makes for a great handling car as it is. And might i just add......the first speed bump you encounter, your going to be gritting your teeth as you go over....it will scrape given your car is lowered.
