Chassis Bracing

[TPDxSI]

Can't find much on the topic, so I'll post a thread. What are the most "worth it" or "best bang for your buck" chassis bracing parts? Thinking about ordering from Ultra Racing for their November sale, but open to other suggestions. Already have the strut tower bar and sway bars

Selling most of my suspension mods:
Type r rear sway bar
Type r Mid Cross member
Ultra racing front Strut Bar
27won RMM

All those together with a good set of wheels and tires the car is planted to the ground

Usually the first brace upgrade you do gives you the biggest bang for your buck. Everything else after provides less and less perceivable difference. I did notice a difference on my car with the Type R lower subframe brace, but I don't have a strut brace yet. If I did already then I very may well have not felt a thing.

Is this the equivalent of that one you have? https://ultraracing-usa.com/honda-civic-fc-fk-type-r-fk8-2016-2019-front-subframe-3-points/

The Type R brace goes in a similar spot but only has 2 connection points. The UR bar looks far more substantial. Then again, the Type R brace is dirt cheap.

@TPDxSI Yes that is the equivalent, but like Mitch said the Type R brace and hardware can be purchased brand new from Honda for dirt cheap. I think I paid less than $30 shipped earlier in the year. The only other brace I am really interested in is the Ultra Racing trunk brace since that is reinforcing an area with a big open gap so it has to do something in my opinion.

Honestly, your money would be better spent elsewhere

It really depends on one's objectives. For handling if we're to classify what items make most different in order:

- Wheels and Tires
- Suspension Mods
- Chassis Bracing

One can work their way through list of modifications, and improve their car each step of the way
