If you're willing to spend the $ for DCSports give the Comptech titanium bar a look (245 shipped if I remember right from autocarparts.com), Its very high quality and probably the lightest strut bar on the market judging by looking at the design--less elaborate than DCSports and should be very strong.

Otherwise Neuspeed should be good from what I've heard and at the price (numerous places shipped for not much over 100) is the best deal I've seen. Its the one I might get b/c I am not interested in spending upwards of 200 on a strut bar but I DO drool over the Comptech bar.

Go with neuspeed unless you got the cash to pay for a titanium bar.

I second that opinion!

Those were the two it got down to for me. In the end, I just couldn't see spending $250 for titanium. I ended up getting a used Neuspeed for $85 and it only weighs about 3.5 lbs. The extra money you save would be better spent on other mods.

to my knowledge, most of the JDM FRONT strut bars don't fit (i know spoon doesn't for sure) because the reservoirs are located differently than the type R, so the bar doesn't fit over em. I may be wrong, but i am like 90% sure. If i'm wrong, please let me know, otherwise i plan on going ALEX. :eek:

Freedom design has a fron strut bar for our car, 85 bucks. IMO the Freedom bar is better than the neuspeed one.

Mr. Alex is 100% JDM
the bars fit perfect and are top quality as I believe they are manufactured by Cusco.

Mr. Alex' strut bar looks kinda flimsy to me, on the joints (see pic.) Looks like they will bend under stress. Unlike, say, neuspeed one that is one piece? Anyone wanna comment?

The strut bar is solid, there is not any flex in those joints, here is my picture.

yeah i know that almost all of the jdm front strut tower bars dont fit. i would get a spoon bar if it would. im just gonna get the neuspeed bar in black becasue its simple, it works, and its reasonably priced.
