Default Civic type R srut bar and GSR bar?

What is the difference between the civic typeR strut bar and the gsr bar besides the color? Is it thicker or something?

Why does it suck. From what i've read bars that have pivot points suck the skunk2 has pivot points and aren't as effective as a solid bar with no pivot points GSR bar. HMMMM.......

Obviously you have'nt seen a real CTR front bar before.The walls of the tubing are much thicker than the SI and GSR front strut bars. I actually have both the CTR front bar and the GSR.
Maybe you've only seen the fakes they got out now, they're probably just painted GSR bars.............

Well the reason i'm asking is cause i can get a GSR bar. I was wondering if it's a waste of money or if it will serve it's purpose?

i agree, bars with pivot points are still good and work affectively but don't work as well as bars without pivot points

$25 shipped is good........
Do you already have the holes in the strut towers? If you do you'll just need some
bolts to install it...........

I too can vouch for Neuspeed...4 mounting points, no pivots either. All that goodness for what, $95?! Can't beat that at all.

Try using 12mm bolts with lock washers. I too can vouch for a Neuspeed 4-point. I've used several pivot point bars and the 4-point blew them away.
