Neuspeed Front Strut Bar Users, PLS READ
Just a suggestion for you guys. This is what I found out when I was refinished the bar. The bar is hollow, pretty sure alot of you guys already know. At the 4 mount points, there is a small hole that leads to the main bar. Eventhough the outside of the bar seem okay/not rusting the inside "could." The bar is coated with a layer of paint from the maker, but the inside isn't. The outside could look strong, but the inside could be all weak and brittle. No point of having the bar when it is weak right? I would suggest you guys to buy some long lasting caulk and seal up the hole and stop anymore corrision. Just a heads up.

I haven't noticed any rust on mine. just that the polished part gets kinda tarnished. I don't think that the bar is actually rusting.

After some time (also keep in mind my bar was used when I got it), that after some time. Paint started to come off, I would guess since I had my strut housing taken off more than once (which means the bar had to come off). That paint could or was being scraped off, causing moisture to settle. Hence the begining stages of rust. Also the black caps do not do a great job of keeping water out (or atleast I suspect this). So what he is doing is a great idea on maintaining the bar. Also depending on what color, would be custom :)
