Default strut tower bars

Can somebody tell me what diameter tubing your strut tower bars are made of, and what brand it is. Thanks And lower rear tie bars too if you guys don't mind.

For your future reference, both strut tower bars and tie bars are going to be more or less useless for our Hondas.

The way they connect in the places that they do don't do anything noticeable to reduce the flexing of the chassis.
Even if they did, there's a laundry list of suspension and chassis mods to do before you would have to consider adding these bars. Springs, shocks, swaybars, tires, rotors, pads, bushings, motor mounts, cage, corner balance, track time, track time, track time and track time.

Because the 'chassis flex' that everyone is so concerned about eliminating is torsional flex that happens between the front and rear axles in the passenger area; not on the centerline of the mounting points.

I use skunk2 strutbars and lower tie bar, it makes a huge difference through the corners. the strut bars are not cylendrical from skunk2, but they're about 2.5" wide and 3/4 deep.. im guessing the tie bar is probably just over 1.5" at the widest point.
