Desired_Speeds

depends what kind of aftermarket

MRXMUFFIN

type r strut bar a freind found me one for $25 at a junkyard

dc2_dude

aftermarket will not be any different than stock unless it bolts to your firewall as well as your strut towers. therefor a password strut bar for example

__oversea

carbing

hks369

well i noticed the gsr bar doesnt brace on on the around the top of the strut tower but all the after market ones do...no difference?

as long as it doesnt bend if u try and bend it urself, then its good :]

I think the only two strut bars that make the most difference over stock is probably:

carbing/password jdm/JHPUSA:

and the Neuspeed




I'm sure there are a couple other ones but they all typically do the same.

Spoon works good for me. Rear and front.

The OG Mugen fronts were 3 piece, but still not 3 point.
Do you mean Carbing?
The only 3 point bars are from Password, Carbing and Rigid.

i have the skunk 2...works great, but i would just leave the gsr one and maybe paint it, powercoat it red

ive seen a mugen 3 point strut somewhere some time ago.

I had a gs-r bar on my DB7 then replaced it with the neuspeed(like above). Huge diffrence. But I also have a trunk brace, and lower tie bar.

Sumslapper

that nuespeed works wonders! i felt a good difference with it. Time to try out the passwordjdm one or carbing if i can find one

ebay..... seriously

DC2 Mang

I have the passwordJDM 3-point and it is a good quility product

I would rather have the stock GSR strut bar than an ITR, reason being is that my friend has an oem itr and it is flimsy as hell, you can grab the middle and push up and down and watch it flex quite a bit
