WHAT ARE THE BEST Tie Bars and and H Brace to get for the 06 civic coupe?

[coach2fast]

I have a 06 LX and was lookngi at the Megan Racing front lower tie bar,rear lower tie bar, Hlower brace Arm.

Is the Megan Racing the best to go with or is there a other brand I should be
looknig at?

Dose the Megan Racing only come in the Blue color?

[OMGWTFBBQIMDEREK]

Well. Megan's rear lower tie and H brace come in blue only.. if you wanted another color.. you'd hafta powdercoat it or anno it.. but yeah.. another brand that makes H braces I believe is Tanabe.. so might wanna look into that... their H braces on the other hand.. only come in this orange-ish reddish color I think.. not sure.. just a thought.

A member who races a lot told me the other day that braces don't do much...any other opinions?

[Kakashi]

they just stiffen the suspension..

not by much, but youll probably feel it 75MPH+

[ILL FG2]

Yeah, underbraces are like strut bars... They only yield minimal handling improvements, but every little thing adds up

[coach2fast]

Is it worth doing? Dose it add anything to the Look of the car?

I was thinking of the Skunk2 Rear Cambler Arms as well would they be worth
getting for driving and the look of the car?

Enjoy....

Cambler arms???

"Chasses braces dont really alter the way the car handles much, What they do is remove the variable of chassis flex from the tuning equation, allowing the car to be more precicely tuned. And this is the important aspect from a compitition stand point. As being able to finely tune the chassis = better lap times. But in most cases your talking about a few tenths. So on a street car this really doesnt apply, as with out a timeing system your never going to notice if you were a tenth of a second faster in a given turn.

The benifit of chassis braces on a street car, to me at least, are more psycological. See, chasses braces also make the car "Feel" more stable, solid. This in turn enspires more confidence in the cars capabilities. Which typically causes the driver to drive the car, conscious or unconsciously, harder. Where as the cars handling really hasnt changed. the driver is just driving differently. which explains why people claim that adding a strut tower bar or a lower X brace some how increased the amount of understeer the car has. When in reality, the car allways understeered... the driver had probably just never had driven the car to that point to notice it.'


Any way. Point is for compitition chassis braces are important to allow you to get those last few tenths out of the car. For the street they instill more confidence in the cars capabilities, for better or for worse...

[coach2fast]

Yes these Arms

.....

[coach2fast]

So they should look good on a silver civic :-) I did know know
if you would be able to see them on the car from behind going down the
road.

[Highrev1]

You probably won't be able to see them They are the inner upper ones I think.

[Celcius]

You can't really see it, but most people do say they notice a slight difference.

Basically, you get what you pay for, and the H brace is only ~60 bucks, so don't expect miracles. I'm running Megan coils, Megan rear tie, and Megan H brace right now and the combination of all three really makes the car handle better.

Info. for you guys and girls who are getting ready to install your H brace.



Good Luck!

Torque values for the four bolts that are removed and the importance of lateral position of the sub-frame after installation.
