Default What front strut tower bar to get???

Hey yall I was wondering what you guys were you using and would you buy the same one again? I looked at comptech, cusco, skunk, tanabe, neuspeed, greddy, obx and some other generic ones. Do you prefer the ones that use the shock mounting locations or the ones you have to drill like the stock integra ones or the comptech? Any and all opinions would be much appreciated.

TIA

Ive got the Neuspeed one..got it for like 80 bucks used and it was a good investment. The car feels more stable at high speeds (over 50 or so) but around town I did'nt notice anything.

Just checked out the benen and the carbing 3 point. Man the carbing one sure looks beefy. Anyone have a lineup on them. Couldn't find too much info on retailers.

Neuspeed is one of the best of the lower-priced bars.

Sorry to thread jack but does a Carbing front bar require drilling into the firewall? Just curious.

If you don't have the money for the 3 point strut tower bar then i'd go with the neuspeed. That is one stiff looking strut bar . I've heard great things about it.

Just ordered my bars from Leo at JDMspecperf. Seems like a good guy. He followed up fast and returned all of my E-mails and answered all of my questions. Look forward to getting my bars..............
