Or you could just fit a seat sport one for about half the price?

Looks like it may struggle to clear the airbox.

Do these actually make much difference? My mates put one in his s2000 and I'm interested in them. Am I right in thinking it's to minimise stress and stiffen the body? Or have I been fed duff information

Looks nice either way tho

If in doubt. Flat out!

One of the first and most simple mod to do to your car, tightens up your front end, instantly improving corner speed and confidence entering a corner at speed. :wink:

Few of us down in Oz have these, I upgraded my Forge ally one for the UR design. a little weighty, but very solid. Worth the $$$ IMO.
