The spoon X-Brace, like the rest of their bars, are hollow. They flex way too much to do anything.
And a personal opinion. You fail for wanting to keep heavy stock wheels. Lightweight wheels are the best all around mod for the S2k IMO. You get improved handling, braking,acceleration, and a better looking stance. The stock offsets on all hondas SUCK! Just take your wasted intake and corner balancing money and get a nice set of wheels.
I'm not positive on this one, but I think corner balancing a 50/50 weight distributed car is pointless. I'm pretty sure it would be a waste of money for a street car.
I trust your judgment immensely, but I want to make sure that when I drop it I don't fuck up the balance. Especially when I take out the top, single exhaust, etc. I would get a set of light wheels, but I'm not trying to spend that much. Should I just get a $40 snorkel off ebay, cooling plate and insulate the box calling it a day? That would be a great savings, power increase, and availability to get wheels.
