i would not say its worth it -- but if you want to buy mine ill sell it to you...the gsr bar is sturdy, but could be much improved upon.

why wouldn't it be worth it? It's better than most out there.

GSR strut bar is the same as the 99-00 Civic Si

i think the civic si front strut bar goes over the 2 bolts on the suspension where the springs are.. the gsr front strut bar doesnt attach to the suspension but attches to the strut tower cover.. i have one on my eg now cause i got it for free and it does the job.. ill invest in something better once i upgrade the suspension after the swap is complete..

The 99-00 Civic Si bar is the same bar that is on the GSRs. If you have a 92-95 civic the holes are already drilled and the bar will fit perfectly. If you have a 6th gen civic 96-00 and it's not a 99-00 Si the holes are Not drilled. I know this for sure on the 99-00 non Si modles and am pretty sure on the 96-98 modles. I have the gsr bar on my car and it fits perfectly, but unless you really push your car on the track you wont notice much of anything from a upper strut bar.

Only some of the 1992-1995's have the holes predrilled. So far, I think the 92-93's have holes, and the 94-95's do not, but I can't prove that.

I have the holes - 92.
My friends 95, we just drilled them a few weeks ago. Giant pain in the behind. Ruined two drillbits.

Ok, learn something new everyday. Wonder why they would do that though. Here is mine below. Sorry for the HUGE pic. Thanks
