Default Spoon or Cusco?

I'm quite tempted to 'Spoon' my S2000...In a manner of speaking.

I'm going to invest in a front lower brace, and would rather go down the Spoon route as most of my current mods, and future ones will be Spoon.

The question is; should I go for a Spoon 'X type' brace, or go with a Cusco one?



I've seen a few different types available from Cusco, including these:







I know alot of owners will swear by theirs (as seen when I searched), but has anyone tried both out, or is there a general consensus that one of the designs is better than the rest?

The second and third picture of the Cucco is NOT for S2k only some sample picture.

The 4th picture is the actual one.

If you just want to do the front and imo they both do the same job, buy the one that is cheaper. I went with Cusco because I bought them as a set (F&R).

Ahhh....I wondered why there were different types being advertised.

That floor bar looks very good, but surely there isn't that much flex in the chassis to warrant having one?

I'm making my own rear lower, which really is just a piece of metal with a couple of holes.

Whiteline?

I doubt you'll be able to tell the difference.

I've never found a UK supplier for Whiteline.

Yes there is.


I have one. It is amazing the difference it makes.
It secures the rear sub frame to the front.
