Like the title says and if a H-brace is worth it.

 

It adds extra stiffness to the front suspension, and as for worth it, depends on if your willing to spend the money. For AutoX I'd prolly say yeah.

 

But what about if the car is lowered cause im assuming that it bolts up under the engine right. Wouldnt it hit the ground

 

Unless you have <2 inches of clearence no it won't, these things are measure in mm width. It may however hit your header "B" pipe. I actually just ordered a Tanabe "H" brace, they call it underbody brace. I should get it before Christmas I'll post and take pictures after install. By the way for you 7th gens that might also be interested in an H brace, optionsimport.com has an error on their website listing our brace for ~$75, I checked Tanabes site, the MSRP is $198. now they did charge like $40 bucks for shipping, but that is still a steal, just a lil FYI before they fix it.

 

You think it would be alright for DD

 

Yeah if anything it'll improve your handling.

 

Can you have both the H-brace and front lower tie bar or only one for your car. Sorry for so many questions, I dont know too much about suspension stuff.

 

$200 for an h-brace is a lil pricey...u can get i think megan racing h-braces on ebay for like under $70 shipped. if u do wana spend about $200 on improving ur suspension, try and find a sway bar, thats the best thing to stiffen ur suspension for the money...as far as having both h-brace and low tie, im not 100% sure but i think u can have both.

good luck with everything!

 

I completely forgot about sway bars. Can you have a tie rod, h-brace, and a sway bar up front.

 

OK from what I've read on 7thgenciv the H brace replaces the front lower tie bar, but you CAN still have sway bar, might have to do a bit modification with an aftermarket sway bar. It could be possible to have both H brace and lower tie, but I know the H brace will bolt up to the same screws the lower tie will.
