Default **NEW DC SPORTS CS-2 Strut bar prototype picture

I don't frequent the forums as much anymore, so this maybe old news or reposts, but Our friends at DC Sports were prototyping their all new CS-2 strut bar for the Integra and Civic recently. Albeit crappy pictures, below is a sneek peak of the prototype installed on an integra. At first impression, weight and fit of the bar is inspiring. I am no metal specialist and do not know the stiffness of the Spoon material in comparision with the CS-2, nonetheless, the ONE piece design of the CS-2 is far from discouraging. The "gunmetal" powdercoating along with the seamless welds can be viewed at DC's website. The finished product should be released within the next few weeks at an excellent price!! I will post pictures of the finished product when I receive it in a couple weeks.

I'm prolly preaching to the choir here, but if DC wants to make a new strut bar, they should make it 3-point, and out of Titanium...

Or... maybe that's just me

yeah, a three point titanium strut bar would be freakingreat. Until everyone starts bitching that it costs $225, then everyone runs back to get their $15 Ebay bars.

how does it look like the mugen bar?
these are the mugen bars:








as for the DC sports bars, anything would be an improvement over their original bars for the integra

I would like it better if it bolted to the upper control arm bolts instead of the upper shock mount bolts. All the cornering forces are coming through those UCA bolts, why not bolt a brace there (like the Neuspeed bar does).

There will never be anything for the DA with abs, it sucks. There is very little room around the abs reservoir.
