Default Which x brace are people using?

Which x brace does everyone think is the best overall - function/price? I had the old black cross brace which oil dripped on for oil changes on my old S2000. There is the one sold by Muz, and the one sold on Rick's site, and others. Thanks.

I use the Rick's (aka DiGrappa) and I'm very satisfied with it. Of course I can't judge any other way since I haven't had any other type.

I have spoon x brace. I haven't changed the oil yet since putting it on, but on my last oil change, I did install the fram drain bolt. It has a hose attached to a release valve, so I think that should keep it from making a mess on my xbrace.

Went from Spoon to DiGrappa to Comptech.

My favorite: the Comptech.

It's got the least profile of all of them, and hasn't rusted on the welds like the Spoon. Also cost less than the billet version (Digrappa/Ricks). <---Although, for the look, the billet piece is beautiful....too bad, no many people get to see it though.

BTW, if I'm recommending Comptech, it's got to be good. If you do a search on Comptech and my screen name, you'll see that I've bashed them pretty badly in the bad for various reasons.

This is truely one product that I would buy again....maybe next I will try their strut brace (for appearance reasons only).

I went from Mingster's to the DiGrappa. A really nice piece of metal.

I had the Spoon on my car for less than 4 months before I sold it, what a silly design because of the oil draining issue...

I went with the Neuspeed. I like it very much!
