Default EP3 Strut tower braces?

I haven't looked a whole lot into suspension upgrades since i bought my EP but what i did see was the titanium strut tower braces from DC. Now i love titanium parts just as much as the next guy but the $200+ price tag for ONE brace is a little absurd in my book.

Anyone know of a company that makes these at a more reasonable price? A saw a few on ebay but they looked like they weren't very quality... aside from the $30 buy-it-now price

neuspeed makes an xbrace that connects the front subframe and makes a huge difference. there are a bunch of jdm bars if your into that. check out http://www.jhpusa.com

The DC brace is very nice. Lots and lots of Ti tubing to make it.

I completely agree that it is very nice....

... HOWEVER.... I'm not willing to pay that kinda money for a strut tower bar. lol
