Default Chassis "X" Brace for DC2

Hey Everyone,

On our car, will a chassis brace like this provide that much more ridgidity to warrant the cost of building one? The reason I ask is that I haven't heard of anyone making a product like this for our cars. If someone were to build one, where would the attachment points for the front and rear be? Here's the Spoon one for the S2000:



Any "for" and "against" opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

-Shawn

Those are for convertibles (s2000)- the fixed roof on the DC2 provides the necessary stiffness to the chassis. If you need a stiffer chassis than stock - a roll cage (that mounts to several points in the chassis) is a better idea.

There isn't a brace like this for the ITR. Pretty much the ITR's subframe design comapre to the s2k. Normal lower tie bar will do the work like Spoon , Carbing or Cusco.
