sway bars are all the same dude, nothing you can feel.

Just get what you think looks best.

you mean strut bar

I ran a neuspeed bar on my '97 civic for years. Hell, it's still there (my friend has the car now.) You can't really feel a difference unless you are pushing the car really hard. Now a rear sway bar, thats a different story! I loved having one on there. My Del Sol will definitely be getting one.

ware

so its not much of a difference?

yeah, strut bar, sorry.

they are all the same, the function of the strut bar is to keep the same distance between the struts. so you can see, cheap strut bars or expensive, they all do the same equally

For normal street driving, nope. Unless you plan on racing autox or something I wouldn't put it high on my list of mods.

if you get a larger one up front i'd suggest a HUGE one in the back.

A huge sway bar or strut bar?

I'd just run a stock front sway bar, and a good size aftermarket rear.. I ran a skunk2 rear swaybar on my Civic and it was great.

speaking of the neuspeed front upper strut bar...
the change when installing or need for strut bars really depends on the chassis of the car you're installing them into.
Higher mileage cars tend to have more of a change due to more chassis flex due to wear. Lower mileage cars tend to not notice it as much.
Also the extent of the lowering, quality of roads and how you drive matters as well.

With my higher mileage hatch, 2.25" drop, rough railroad tracks driven over daily and a slightly more aggressive style, I noticed the neuspeed front strut bar a lot when I installed it. (I don't mean driving like an ***, I mean pushing around off/on ramps and the occasional autocross duty)
Stock height daily driver that is driven normally is not going to notice much if anything at all.

QFT. If the car is still on stock shocks/springs/height,etc., all the roll and twist will just be tranferred into your soft springs with a bar. I have a 2.25" drop, with just the front strut bar. I liked the little change it brought me, so now I've ordered a rear strut and tie bar, and a front lower 4-pointer from NRG. I anticipate some good changes with the "full" setup.

still wanna see pics of the neuspeed front strut bar in place .. preferably a 99-00 model

I prefer the Neuspeed bar for mounting purposes.

But I've had many different bars, all worked the same. Some came on cars that I bought, some were cheap $30 ebay style....all the same perfomance.

Strut Bars:
I've had the Neuspeed bars installed on my cars from 1988-00 -Civic and Integra and I have been very happy with it.
A strut bar is a only a strut bar -and for $20-150 you should expect a world of difference on any model.
Strut bars and what they can offer does have a lot to do with how much chassis flex the car has -either from it's age or from the driving characteritics.

Being that you grow into driving the car a little harder -you will normally not bolt it on and notice -wow -a difference. What you will notice if after driving your car for sometime -if you remember it, then you will notice how much it is really doing.

The mounting points and the structure / design of the Neuspeed is one of the better one out there on the market I think. As well, work the extra money.
The "adjustable" ones that you see selling for around $20-30 are adjustable in more than just for installation. The adjustment points actually weaken the structure of the bar -making it "adjustable" when you put your chassis to a flex as well -due to the weak points where the adjustments take place. A solid, non adjustable bar is a good way to go.

Sway Bars:
Different story there all together. You see a few people saying things in ther about sway bars (or size, they are talking about sway bars). Adjustmet points are a good think for sway bars so that you can adjust them according to your driving style.
Depending on how you drive -a good set up is normally just a rear sway bar (20mm), but many put on front and rear sway bars.
