Default Under Brace??

Hey everyone just wondering if any of you use the "Tanabe Sustec Rear Under Brace"? I want to make my rear more stiff to counter the Preludes horrible understeer. And also would this be conpatiable with a aftermarket swaybar? Just would like some input on this always see it around and thinking of picking one up. .

That's the front underbrace for another make. I have both the front and rear tanabe sustec and they both look the same. The rear will not interfere with the swaybars.

i have the upper front and rear, as well as the lower front and rear. there was a noticable difference when i put the lowers on. i love all my bars, the car cars handling is sharp and steady. it feels glued to the road. i got mine for $80 each on inlinefour.com .....to me, it was worth every penny

Unless you've got a large amount of chassis flex, strut & under braces are going to do very little to impact the attitude of the car during a corner (under/oversteer). If you notice any improvement, it will be in "feel" and handling predictability.

Rear doesn't do anything from my experience. It seems the rear subframe is strong enough as is, the front is a different story.

Hey Turbb1,
From your picture, it look like you have removed the center beam from the subframe with the front bar on. Is that necessary or can you still retain the beam with bar on? Do you have any problem with the front bar hitting speed bump?
