You're probably looking for people who have used them in Civics, but I'll go ahead and throw in my opinion
I have the 3pt front strut bar in my 98 GSR and I like it alot! Very stiff and nice looking.

i agree.
i'm not hear to put out a bad name for them. i think their products are very high quality ****. but they seems not to even want my business. so i take my money elsewhere.

Re: Anyone have experience with Benen Ind. Products?? (SeanJohn1802)
ive been tryin to get a front upper bar from them for months. I emailed them a while ago, march or april, to place an order and they said they would have their strut bars available in August. Ive been trying to get a hold of them since then but no answers. I even called their distributors on their site and they stopped carrying benen products plus they cannot even get a hold of benen. Thats my experience.
SeanJohn1802 if you get a hold of them let me know whats up

I have the strong bar - quality is very nice... it bolts to 2 bolts in the floor of your trunk back towards the rear of the car... in between the spare tire well & the taillights...this bar & a rear strut bar are 2 completely different bars

HMM,well I like my X-member brace.It works well and at the moment I dont have a front upper strut bar (because im waiting to pick up the 3pt bar as well) so I figure once I get them both teamed up together then I will see even more improvment.I dont know if this helps any.
