Default What's the best H-Brace out there on the market?

I'm thinking about purchasing a Megan Racing H-Brace today.. Anybody have complaints, glowing reviews, etc..? Or suggestions for a better brand h-brace?

Thanks!

I don't know squat about em I'm in for info.

I can't see there being too big of a difference between products. It looks pretty simply constructed.

Bump for anyone with H-brace reviews

I'm mainly concerned about the quality of materials used, and the welding done.

If you're looking at that Megan H brace, the build quality on it is pretty sketchy unless they've improved it. It's made from crushbent hollow stock, and the crossbar on the one I had for a couple days hit my stock cat. Ground clearance is also pretty bad, but it does line up with the front wheels, so theoretically it wouldn't snag on a speed bump unless you roll one front wheel over before the other(diagonally). Some of the other companies that make similar braces seem to be of better quality construction - NRG and Cusco's materials and welds look a lot better than the Megan and other generics that I've seen. As for actual performance, that's anyone's guess.

Found in a similar thread question in suspension forum

Looks like I got my answer ( SOB. Time to fork up more cash. Oh well.

Meh.. Price isn't half bad for an H-brace made by NRG. Anybody used this brace before?

im thinking about ordering the NRG one monday. from what i hear is that the clearance between the unit and the exhaust mani is very minimal and could make contact with each other.

here's a link that i found somewhat helpful
