How is the H-Brace? Can we get a review plz.

[rayb3na_]

de-wing it!

[rpm boy]

The h Brace is awsome for a lowered em1, im not sure if the hatches are the same but when the em1 is lowered the steering becomes preety stiff and rigid ... well compared to an eg, but when u put the h brace on the steering it really light and it helps the car stick in corners better especially at high speeds so thumbs up to the h brace

[Civic VTi-R]

de-wing it!

i like the look of the wing... maybe wen i get sick of it ill de-wing it

[rpm boy]

U have a front wheel drive... a wing on a car is for downforce , if u take the wing off it will make u faster in 2 ways 1. ull get more traction at high speeds ( not really cause the wings angle and the speed u would have to b at 4 it to make any difference would be minimal) and 2 weight reduction (just think u could be 0.000001 of a second faster to 60km/h =P

So on a sedan you will feel nice steering? does it make the steering any harder?

[rpm boy]

No it makes the steering really light and nice to drive, no longer have the battle turning sharp corners which i felt was a real prob with the ek range

[beeza]

Do U have sway bars and/or strut bars aswell?

[rice_eg]

[sassy_fit_vtit]

Do U know where I can get one from locally?
I think shipping from the US is like $100 US...
It's for a 96EK1 Civic.

[rpm boy]

$50 us shipping... shouldnt even be that much cause its sooooo light but thats what they say postage is from us on ebay
Beeza how low is your car, the bottom of your car looks pwned

[beeza]

That's not my car :)
But mine is quite low...I'm a bit concerned,gotta try though,right.
It's not REAL low...

[Civic VTi-R]

[Nismo3oi]

did u need to drill any holes to install the H-brace? also RPM-BOY where did u get it?

[beeza]

He got it off ebay.com
The ones that show you the Shipping cost is $100US.
I'll have to get on my mates account to ask the other 2 or 3 sellers their shipping cost.

[Civic VTi-R]

no you dont have 2 drill any holes... its very easy to install, takes about 25mins max

[beeza]
