All 94-01 Integra front upper strut tower bars will fit, as well as both the front and rear upper strut tower bars from the ITR.

Basically, any strut bar that will fit 94-01 Integra will fit your car.

I wouldn't recommend a 3 point strut bar for the simple reason that if you are in an accident, the bar will transfer the impact to the firewall, possibly causing major damage that would not be easily repaired. I'd stick with a 2 point.

If you are looking for a brand I recommend, I'd go for Carbing since they are a welded one-piece unit, not a multi-piece flexible eBay bar. You should look for a bar that is fully welded over a bar that has multiple pieces.

The only exception I would make for a multi-piece bar would be the ITR ones, because there are two bolts holding the bar to the end brackets which makes for a stronger piece than a single bolt design.

haha im running an ebay 2 point strut that i pulled from a junkyard, got it for 4 bucks.

i always wondered why theres no jdm scene locally, but then i started junkyard hopping. thats where they ended up.

Call up Wek Sos if you want a Carbing bar. Call up N1 Concepts or Password JDM if you're looking for ITR bars. Also look up eBay and Craigslist. You'll find something in no time.

3 pt > 2 pt. The front of these cars is what needs the most bracing. The Benen 3pt and Password JDM 3 pt are both good. But 2pt is better than nothing and in most cases much cheaper.

I'm not denying that a 3 point is more rigid than a 2, but you have to consider what could happen if you're in an accident or even a small fender bender. Instead of replacing a bumper or hood, you could risk have having to fix a dented or creased firewall.

Not something I would want to deal with.

also, ebay kits where the brace is threaded at the mounts, they have no purpose. the threaded points for adjustable fitment are more bendable, and less sturdy. benen is costly, but they make very reliable braces.
