Default BB6 Front upper tower bar???

I've tried to order Spoon front upper tower bar, but it seems too hard, coz Japan stop making them, and all the shops i've looked are all out of stock. So what are the other choices that you guys suggest??
Thank you~

I have the Neuspeed bar on my 5th gen and it is a great addition up front. I went with black. Very easy install. You might have to persuade it a little, but that is true for several of these. The price is very fair and you can sometimes get a deal at places like carparts.com. James Chan (www.performance-evolution) can also get them for you.
Need help with install-drop me an e-mail.
The only thing that gets intersting is setting the 4 legs on the studs-you may need to jack up the left front to get those on. I needed to use my trusty bench vise to tweak the bar a tiny bit (used heavy rags to protect paint). BTW: This is a rigid install (1-piece)compared to any other out there.

Thanks for the referal Jim

I had a special just 3months ago and sold out pretty quick and grabbed whatever front bars I could get. I'm having 5more rear bars coming in in 3weeks, but those are all presold. There is suppose to be 10 Gen4 front bars coming in too, but tht's not comfirmed yet.

I may have to refer you to another shop. As a auto enthusiast myself it know it can be very frustrating to not get what you want. So.... I'll refer you to where I think they have some bars still in stock. Try http://www.inlinefour.com/ one of my customers tried there last week and they said they had stock of the rear ones, the front ones I'm not sure, keep your fingers crossed.

Good luck and sorry I couldn't help, my inventory just sold out too quick

jc836 (or anyone else who's installed a strut brace) - Does the neuspeed strut bar install involve pushing brake lines aside on the driver side? Or the wiring harnesses on the passenger side? I've got an incredibly generic bar, and it seems I'm going to have to do both to get it to mount up. If it's same with name-brand ones, I won't bother upgrading, but if there's something that's more straightforward bolt-on, I'll get a better bar. Thanks . . .

Did you try R&D Motorsports? (http://www.randdmotorsports.com) David there is pretty cool, I ordered my Spoon bars from him. I ordered them when they still made the bars, but IIRC if they have enough orders for the bar, may be able to make a special run for them. I know he was organizing a buy a while back, Id drop him an email, or better yet, call, and see what he can do.
