It's most likely not going to do anything really noticeable, so just pick the one with the prettiest colors

Personally, I have the ASR sway bar/brace and the Benen lower rear tie bar. And yes, I know the brace is doing the same thing as the tie bar would do, it's strictly for looks.

I really couldn't tell you because I haven't really heard of them. I would just try and get a more popular name, skunk2, benen, beaks, spoon, I think tanabe even? I've got Blox lca's on my coupe, haven't had any problems with those. Just get whichever one you think looks the best, you most likely aren't going to notice a significant difference. Good luck!

If you're going for aftermarket LCA's, you're better of shelling out the extra bux for the Skunk2. the bushings on the Blox ones are junk and do not last very long at all.

as for the lower tie bar, the skunk2 is a nice looking unit. i had one for a while but sold it recently as i plan on going with the ASR brace and sway bar route very soon.

pricewise, you can get an idea off the skunk2 website itself.

if you already have them use them, unless you can get a refund for them from the place you bought them from. from what i've witnessed, those Blox bushings do not last very long. the Skunk2 ones are urethane (if i recall) and require some lube before installing to keep the creaking away.

imo, any brace that has pivot points sort of defeats the purpose, ie skunk2, spoon. id look toward asr or beaks. but i doubt you would feel a big difference with any of them anyway
