second that - spoon it - see best buy section

 

If u want something for a cheaper price, I say go with neuspeed.

 

Get a Skunk2. Front and rear. The look nice and the bars are thick.

 

I have DC Sports

 

I'm sorry...

 

 

SPOON! the ITR and MUGEN bars are nice also.

ITR Front Upper Strut (works and looks nice)

Other than that, get spoon because they probably are the most flashy but those things don't really work that well. Too many holes and not beefy enough to stop the struts from flexing.

 

Uhhhhhhhh. The spoon bars have too many holes? Since when is 0 too many? And they are pretty damn thick Aluminum....

 

I'm thinking someone meant DC sports. Spoon bars are one of the best [engineered] out there. DC is just to look pretty and aren't rigid at all. Probably about as rigid as my rear OEM sway bar.

 

hahahaha...yeah I know you're sorry for me not having nuff money to mod. Well, being poor is now a sin eh?! DC is the only one that I can afford, thought I'd let you know Mr. Spoon.

sorry...hahaha...u sorry motha do you happen to have any documentation that your Spoon is better than DC Sports?! Not just hearsay okay? How much G-Force do you get when making a turn that u needed a Spoon!? oh I know! Spoon is cool! Spoon is this and that! If only I could afford your so called Spoon Dave-ROR...

 

Oh ****... sorry. I mean DC Sports have holes. I'm using spoon is what I meant to say.

 

Dude, the spoon bars are fuggen cheap. What did you pay for your DC sports bars? Probably barely less than what I paid for the spoon bars.

I'll tell you what, send me the dc bars, and I'll apply a load, we'll measure the bend in the bar, then repeat with the spoon bar. While we are at it, let's weigh them.

 

spoon bar costs same amount as DC sports.....spoon bar is designed well, actual R&D went into the product....spoon bar does not flex when you push and pull on it in the engine bay or hatch area.....I had a DC Sports lower tie bar, i bent it...wanna see pics? DC suspension components = nice looking but CRRRRRAP

 

ohhhh reallyyyyyyyyyy???? how did u bent it???? had mine for a year but never bent it yet...and I dont think they cost the same...thats hella funny

 

Ok then, what is the normal group buy/mail order price for the DC front and rear strut tower bars? Please tell me.

And what.. you wont take me up on my offer?

 

to bend it, i think you actually have to do more than just daily driving. Not sure what you do, but i guess you're not driving it aggressive enough, which may work well for you.

 

according to http://www.modacar.com the DC bar costs $145. the guy from R&D sells the Spoon bars for $325 front and rear together shipped...the DC bars will add up to about $290 and shipping will be between $15-25....i see a negligible difference in price there.....and the spoon bar is actually functional instead of adding deadweight and another thing to get dirty in the engine bay.....

I bent my bar through driving my car hard....thats the ONLY explanation i have.....it didnt hit anything, there are no scratches, there are no marks or dents or indentations where something could have hit it...no one jacked it up from it because no one had worked on my car between the time it was fine and straight and the time i noticed it was bent....

 

My point exactly. Some people are too stupid to research prices and instead just see "Spoon" or "Mugen" and think "That's way too expensive, I'll just buy a xxxxx" Granted Mugen STB's are HELLA expensive, but they are very effective as well.

 

http://www.autodynamic.com has cheap asp shiney strut bars! but if ya can buy it spoon sturt bars are the best!

 

i now equate the effectiveness of DC bars to bolting a wood 2x4 to the mounting points...imagine that and thats about how effective the DC bars are.

 

junglistgsr: Dude, I don't think you're given the wood enough credit.. or you are giving the DC sports STB too much credit..

Here's something for our friend to really bitch about.. I am mr spoon now! lol

 

DOOD! those spoon caps are mad expensive! like $35..WOAH, THATS INSANE!


...the custom green coolant on the fan makes it more JDM stylee
