They charged my card as it showed online that was as in stock, it’s why I went with the vendor I went with, then 2 days later they contacted me and let me know it wasn’t in stock. Oh well not a huge improvement and won’t install till I do the upper toe bar at the same time and haven’t even chose which one I want yet so...
True, im not stressing over it too much lol. I went with tanabe, but i know many prefer ultra racing for most chassis bars. My tanabe bar made a big difference in steering feel. Good luck on your decision!

Checked my local honda and they said they were expecting them to be ready on the 9th of this month. He said they were still on backorder and wasnt sure if they would be in stock soon. Collegs hills honda still says in process but previously told me they would be ready on the 6th of this month. Not sure who to believe at this point but your post makes me hopeful been almost a month now.

I got mine (used). It really makes you wonder why they just didn't put one on for this price. Took like 5 minutes. Damn long bolts. I put on a progress rear sway bar too. But things seem a little tighter up front. Maybe a placebo though.

I had my hardrace rear motor mount, this brace, and lightweight wheels all installed near the same time so I can't verify any night & day differences. Once the wheels went on, the handling did improve. Once this went on, I *think* the car feels more solid around turns. The Tanabe strut tower brace arrives next week so that combined with the TypeR brace (and a stiffer rear sway bar) are the best we can do to the car IMO. Last item remaining is more negative camber up front.

Tonight mine is going in - ended up working on wife's Wrangler this weekend, had to replace an oil pressure sensor which involved taking upper and lower intake manifolds off so did plugs, new gaskets up top, and put a cold air intake on for here as well as Dad duty for Halloween decorating. Will be doing oil change, tightening DP/FP as getting a vibration lately, adding this brace, and doing my rear camber arms tonight! I have a 120 mile round trip daily with the same set of curves so will be able to tell you by tomorrow evening what I think!

Installed, no real noticeable difference, but didn't expect a huge one on daily driving. When I get the front upper it will really help it to shine, and then with rear swaybar upgrade this should make it very fun/balanced:)

I think you can only feel the difference when you up-size the front sway bar. It's a day and night difference when I did the front sway bar and sub frame swap from ek9 to a regular 00 ek.

Do the front upper strut and rear sway bar one by one if you wanna know the difference.

Ordered it for my 2019 SI in hopes that it all remains the same. Will report back in a month or so!

I think the point of this part is to keep the sub frame from moving under extreme loads.


should be acting similar to rigid collars
