Re: Whats Best Upper Front Strut Bar/Brace for EG? (Archidictus)
I have a Skunk2 bar. The brackets are made out of titanium (very strong and light) and the bar is freakin solid. I can jump up and down on it and it doesn't budge.
It's much better made than DC sports or any of the adjustables.
I would think that a three point would be even better. I like being able to take mine off with two bolts though. I don't like how much work it takes to get the three point bars on and off. But that's just me.

Yeah. Last year I pulled my head 6 times and pulled the motor out twice. That's probably more often than the average person. lol

I got the Benen 3-point strut. Assembly is easy. Just screw it in the firewall (bolts right on) and on the chassis around the shocks. Even a retard could do it in under 15 mins.
Get a solid brace, no hinges, mkay? hinges are bad.

I'm very fond of the neuspeed 4 point. I had it on my car for many years before I decided to switch to the passwordjdm three point. Both gets the job done but it does goes down to the price. the passwordjdm piece is more rigid then the neuspeed piece IMO.
