zero, proven no benefits from it.

t1r 4pt does work though because it is integrated.

I never liked t1r. alot of people do, but i just cant buy their stuff. im old school though, they made alot of junk parts for the ITR before they stepped their quality up.

lol, mnost front bars do nothing for the s2k, The t1r is nice although if you have a cai system, the fitment isnt good and it will rattle like hell. There are things you can do for this but oh well

As for front bars, mainly just for looks. Id use mine to hold onto while im doigna oil change lol!

Seems it would hinder the use of a supercharger too. Hmm, the price isn't that bad either.

given the strong beam going across the front of the engine already, i dont see a strut bar in a S2000 helping much. other than that X contraption above, which is considerably different than just a strut bar.

a whiteline/mux subframe brace did wonders for the front end chassis stiffness.

it bumps up the resonant frequencies so when you go over bumps its tighter and improves response from steering inputs.

yeah, i got a spoon front strut tower bar - fitted it, and thought i could feel a very slight difference, but mainly over speed bumps! - it seemed that the front didn't flex as much as without. Have been round a track a few times before and after, and thought i could feel a difference, but could have been placebo effect - looks real nice in the bonnet though!

I'm skeptical about the T1R type on an S2000, but I'll let that one slide. It MIGHT do something.

As for the rest of the regular strut tower bars, why don't you just go ahead and send me $200 and I'll wish your car to handle better. It'll be just as effective.
