I'm also a DiGrappa fan. No problems with oil changes. It does focus the steering input and the suspension will remain calm when in a corner and being pushed over rough/uneven pavement. You will not notice a difference in normal driving. This is not a performance mod, it's a handling mod.

This thread is asking which X brace is the best. If you question the benefit of the X brace idea that's a whole 'nother thread. So is the question 'Which do you have?'. I had a Spoon and swapped for a Whiteline. I think the Vortech SC is the better SC but I have a Comptech.

Now the question of which is best has to be based on what criteria are important to you. I'm tempted to say that if money is no object the the Digrappa is the best brace. But I haven't met many for whom this is the case.

I feel the Whiteline scores highly in all areas including value for money. Not sure about the Cusco or Newspeed, but the others all score lower in one area or another than the Whiteline IMNSHO.

I have the digrappa.

After having it on the car for a year, I will never take it off.

I also have a Digrappa. I had aligned the car before I got the Digrappa...and I installed coilovers yesterday and got the car re-aligned. The x-brace made a huge difference in alignment...when I watched the alignement the first time, every adjustment had a bit of tolerence and would change slightly, This time after the x-brace, the adjustment was dead acurate...toe camber, castor...we were able to dial in the exact number w/o any trouble.

Digrappa has no oil change issues for me.

A poster above stated that an x-brace does nothing for performance. I think some people think of performance as in increasing straight line speed or acceleration. I should have said handling performance... sorry!
