I just installed the 5zigen rear braces

I had the Neuspeed rear brace but these are much better.

Terry, that looks pretty impressive. What did the old Neuspeed rear brace look like? Any pics to compare?-Bob

Can you explain what is better about it? Improved skid pad times, improved response, improved the looks of your trunk?

The car is more stable through corners. When I installed them I took the car through corners that I'm familiar with and the car was faster. RSX's one bad spot is the Support of the unibody construction and tend to twist easily when pushed hard. And also they look sexy.

It's not a race car persay but it's more of a car that I'm building to put a smile on my face while driving.

One reason they are more stable is the diagonal brace.

When a person only has a rectangular box, it can flex
by a small amount of course,
into a rhomboid shape, like the Schlitz emblem.

The diagonal brace stops that flexing.-Bob
