Just read that the USA version of the Euro (TSX) has a strut brace as standard equipment. Does the Australian Euro have the same thing?

no
Alright. Thanks for the info.
This is an interesting difference you have picked up. Looking at my engine bay the Euro has a small metal brace on each strut connected to the firewall.
Euro pics-- (see pic 5 of Nicks' Euro) - you can see part of the brace

The TSX, however, has a bar connecting the struts together. Look at intake pics---

Would upgrading to a full brace be a worthwhile mod? I presume it would reduce body roll - would it do anything else?
would it be possible to order it through honda aus?... or would have to get it from US?
Looking at the simplicity of the brace in the TSX photo, it is possible to fabricate it quite cheaply.
But given that the Euro's suspension is already stiff enough, the addition of the strut brace might not give a noticeable improvement in "day to day" driving. But on the skid pad..... there would be a benefit.

Having the strut brace will help improve stability whilst cornering.
It stiffens the chassis up when cornering. Only need it if you take corners hard. When I mean hard I mean over 80kmph!!
really? so it's useless under 80km/h? got proof to back yr statement up?Quote:

Nick - if you find one let me know - maybe we can get a better price if we buy together. Any Neuspeed dealers in Australia? The Neuspeed strut brace seems cheap in the USA ($115US)Quote:
