Corsport front lower tie bar,H brace, rear lower tie bar. Are they good?

Any one tried that kind of setup? Megan has simillar ones, if not the same. Im curious of the quality build of those parts. If it would improve handling I would buy those parts, but I have to know if its worth it.

I think the braces are the exact same ones as Megan's. You should contact Tai at CorSport to confirm.

It would be a shame if I bought those now and some other brand (like cusco) made simillar parts for the Si. Im gonna wait with it like a month, then I'll buy them. But Im still debating if its worth it, is it gonna do any better for the car.

Cusco and Tanabe both make H-braces for the car....Cusco has the better design IMO and it tucks up next to the bottom of the car more than the others instead of hanging low. Also, I've used Cusco products in the past and their quality is top-notch....but it does cost a bunch more than Megan.

They are same brace to my knowledge except Megan Racing's are warranteed through Megan Racing. Corsport I am not sure if they have a warranty but I am sure he does. Also, CorSport's do not have anything that says Megan Racing on them...

agreed. unless youre getting your car track ready...you will need all suspension components...as far DD, just get sway bar.

OP, are you really worried about your chassis?

Buy the braces for show or if you want to throw money at your car. The real cars/racers you see at the SCCA events at most will have a top front and/or rear bar, if anything at all.

No disrespect meant, everyone should learn how to drive their car stock first, then they will know what needs reinforcing or modifying.
