For the $$$ vs "use," go for Neuspeed. You won't get much more (stiffness) out of DC for that extra 2 bills. Neuspeed is like 4lbs, much lighter than DC, if weigh is also an issue.

Depends, take into consideration also how easy to take on and off. The Neuspeed could take some effort sometimes.

I always say "you get what you pay for". The DC Sports titanium bar is the bomb. It weighs around 2 pounds and looks great. Now if you're on a budget and you like function over fashion, go with the neuspeed. They both do the same job. Your just paying for the name and the type of material used.

The neuspeed bar I think does the job (if it does it is not noticeable), it is definitely not weak. I myself weigh 150lbs, and I jump on the bar and it didn't flex at all.

hae you seen the DC one up close yet?

It has terrible looking welds, its so bad I could have done them better.

So if you were just considering getting it because of the weight factor than ok, but hopefully not for the looks

DC bar looks strange to me. They are all pretty good. 3 point one is best, but it is not allowed in STS autox.

One solid piece is always better.Dc's price is rediculous.

I have the Comptech titanium tower strut brace... it's as light as a feather. Not cheap though!;)

Rear struts, yes, front? yes and no. The front strut won't fit any USDM EP3 unless you do some custom work. As in.... moving the reseviors.
