How many have used both the comtech and spoon strut bar. all pros and cons are welcomed. I want too know if comptech is worth the extra 40 bucks.

 

The comptech bar is like the OEM ITR.

Spoon is much stronger.

 

there all th same

 

^ thats not true. Although u can barely tell the difference.

 

i have the spoon bars. Would I notice a difference between those and the comptech bars? I doubt it.

Yeah... nice strut bars are nice strut bars. I have a Skunk2 in the rear and its a nice piece.

 

well depends. a solid strut bar will yield better performance over a hollow one. many bars are made for "universal" fitment, in that the ends can pivot. this increases flex and almost defeats the purpose of the bar.

 

difference .. price thats all and name

so i can put the GS-R strut bar on a Type-R and you wouldn't notice a difference? when in fact the type-R strut bar is much better because even tho it is hollow it has an X frame internally? where as the GS-R bar is just a pipe. not flamming.

 

The Comptech is pure Billet 6061-T6 Aircraft Quality Aluminum that's CNC Machined to perfection! It's a really sweet piece...although, some company called MBE MotorSports has pretty much copied it exactly for about half the price at $125.

true. comptech's stuff is expensive. but i believe they have a lot of R&D into their products and i ahve heard fitement is excllent. anyway before you buy look at each one and see how they are made. yes there are bars better than the comptech. the neuspeed 4 point strut bar has been liked a lot.

 

you have to remember how the bars are actaully made...they are ment to keep body from twisting and thats all , and also i say they all work the same for what they are made for.. if any1 can twist there frame enuff to snap a stock gsr then i will shut up on the strut bar topic forever and buy myself a 300 dollar strut bar

maybe no one has flexed the chassis enough to snap a GSR bar because the GSR bar itself flexes a lot, and moves with the chassis. i'm not tryin to be a dick. just opening windows on the view.

 

I have a comptech strut bar on my 94 GSR, it is alot stiffer than the stock GSR bar without a doubt. I agree that with any quality strut bar you couldn't tell the difference between brands. Right now, there is a Comptech Strut Bar on ebay for a very reasonable price. It is for a 94-01 teg:

get the benen 3 point. or you can settle for the neuspeed.
