I stay away from unknown brands as they sometimes have fitment issues, and can break easily. But that isn't to say that there is not some good deals to be had. Do think of this as well, this design is a copy of another company who put the R and D into the product. So do you want to support the company that originally came up with the design or do you just want the cheapest product?

 

from what i read these are a big pita to install and thats the ones from reputable companies

 

the s chassis is plenty stiff enough, you can invest your money better somewhere else :D

 

Stay away from ebay unknown brand. I was actually planning on getting the xbrace but after some research I found out that the xbrace will get in the way when doing oil changes. So i decided to go with the cusco front lower brace.

 

I agree with you 100%. that is why I won't buy any knock off products from companies like Seibon. They are killing the R & D companies.

 

the only xbrace i know that gets in the way of oil changes is the spoon one. I have megan coils on it. *came with the car* imo i don't like em i like stock with lowering springs better. If anyone is interested in buying em PM me they have low miles.

 

how do you like the brace?

 

I have this brace as well and I guess its ok. I can't really tell a big difference with it

 

Not much of a difference, however, I also installed a Cusco lower subframe bar and thats the one I really like the most and I believe its worth buying.
