does anyone know what strut bar is best to use?? i heard the megan's were just cosmetic and that neuspeed was the best type.... could be wrong though??

 

Neuspeed's is quite well built. I'd say that'd be a very good option. I'm quite partial to Carbing's triangulated Strut Tower bars, but I'm unsure as to if they'd fit the EM2. I haven't looked into it.

 

i know i love my neuspeed front upper strut bar. works well and solid. dc sports and others are 3 piece bolted not welded and arent as strong as neuspeed.

 

thanks for the replys!! i think ill go ahead and get the neuspeed strut bars, anyone know where i could get one that is cheaper than true-honda.com or robear.com???

 

check 7thgencivic.com/ you can get them used for under 100

 

id say neuspeed to.

 

my neuspeed ones works well...

 

neuspeed front upper strut > DC/megan

 

i have neuspeed, but i think they all do the same thing. i think its just a matter of what fits over your intake, or what looks best for you.

Not exactly, some are built better than others. The generic model my sister had in her LX when she got it (it was a 7thgencivic.com member), was flimsy as all heck and I bent it in half without much strain (no tools required). She's running a neuspeed with an AEM cold air intake, with some minor adjustments made to the intake mounts to clear it with more room.

 

Since the Neuspeed bar is a solid piece it does not allow as much flexing as the other bars that have two locking nuts where the bar meets the strut tower.

 

i guess you're right, what do i know. i'm just a noob

No, I consider it as you already have a decent piece of equipment, because you don't buy "cheaply". Therefore, you "miss out" on the opportunity to see some crappy products in use.

On a sidenote, you know those Akimoto rear floor support bars? You know, the ones that do nothing what so ever? My sister's car came with one, and mind you, it does look somewhat fancy, and sturdy.... well, atleast it looks that way. I took that out from the back of her car, because it does nothing (hell, it even twists forward and back, which goes to show how badly built it is), and because I was bored, I tried to bend it. Ok, as a forenote, I'm not built in any way, shape, or form. But, I took the bar in hand, and said to my sister, "Hey, look what I can do!" and bent it into a U-shaped piece of metal. The metal did actually crack in some corners, but mostly it just bent in half. I think I'd feel safer with a cardboard mockup of a roll cage, than that hunk of ****. Way to go Akimoto!

 

does carbing make triamgulated one for the dc5?

 

Not that I know of.

 

I got my neuspeed upper strut bar from http://www.lightningmotorsports.com they shipped it in three days from the day I placed the order, and with shipping it was 121.00. Also they are located in Baton Rouge Louisiana, I try and throw any money I can at the gulf coast states that were hit by Katrina.

Forgot to note that you need to call to place the order they still don't have the online ordering part of the website up and running yet.
