    Appreciate any input from 5th Gen Prelude owners on STB recommendations for
    the Prelude. Any modifications that are necessary to provide for clearance,
    or other installation problems. Results -- handling improvement?

    Noticeable handling improvements for sure. I made one out of 1" heavy
    tubing (or 1" light wall pipe). I saw one installed in some other car and
    it ain't nothing but a pipe with a bit of a bend at each end and a a slight
    curve in the middle.

    What did you torque the strut tower nuts to after installation -- 30 ft lbs.
    Recall that's what I used before on a Civic.

    Have a Neuspeed brace for my 99 Prelude. I noticed the difference right
    away. The handling is much more nervous and precise. You need to
    torque the nuts to 28 ft-lbs (from the manual).

    Since this was a home-brew device, their were no specs to follow.
