Get the rear first, because the front one you can't even feel a difference. And stay away from the cheap ones, because they don't fit properly.

I remember when I bought my Neuspeed and mounted it, took it for a ride. My first thought was "well that was a nice $100 wasted" Oh well at least it looks cool.

whoa....calm the **** down.

You're asking a question that has been cover a hundred ******* times. The reason people aren't answering your question is because it's trite. The sheer ubiquity of your line of questioning has probably bored the members so much that they don't feel like expending the effort to type an answer.

Use the search feature first next time, noob.

then spend the money and get a solid one. They're much harder to install, and they usually cost a lot more, but they're worth it. Mugen, Spoon, AEM, the list goes on.

The mugen ones are nice if you don't mind selling your soul for them. try http://www.kingmotorsports.com

Spoon/Jun available through
http://www.inlinefour.com

And, of course, there's always fleabay...

If you lower your car, they will make a neglible difference in my opinion. I'd just get a cheap ebay one. They're shiny and real perty anyways. I had one on my 4th gen, and have an uninstalled one for my 5th gen. I had to remove the group of wires near the strut top, and just kinda reposition them, but it wasn't that hard to do it.

You're really just buying it for looks, especially if you lower your car.

a front strut bar will make the most difference. most people don't know how to install it correctly though: they just pop the hood and put it on. you gotta lift the front end completly off the ground and install then no matter what kind you get.

Ebay strut bar packages are ok , but watch out because they will warp and bend all over after time, not to mention they break real easy. the metal used on those off brands are sometimes very soft . if you want quality, get Cusco, JIC, APR, Moogen, Spoon, etc. (titanium and carbon preferably)

IMO the front was unnoticable, rear made a bigger difference.
