Seems like they will all do the same job.

so how much does each one weight? which is the lightest. Seems like the cusco.

cusco is lightest but cusco stb is crap.. for that mater any stb with joints that can flex is junk...

the only company that makes one piece stb is neuspeed

as for the X brace. i agree with Road Rage that Rick's seem least suceptable to twist and flex. that's what I have also

It definitely looks like you could run the CUSCO brace with any other x-brace. It tucks up under the car and has virtually the same ground celearance as stock.

I personally have driven a car equipped with the CUSCO as well as cars with Spoon, Speed and Neuspeed braces and I have the first generation Digrappa on my car. Although I can't tell a difference among these I can say they all showed an improvement over stock.

And I can also say that of all the braces I've seen the Digrappa seems to be the beefiest. If that means anything at all...

well, if the brace is Aluminum, the car's chassis will be galvanically protected. the brace will corrode.
