Which is the stiffest? best overall?

Spoon bar is about $135, what else is out there?

Also does this involve cutting into the back there or is it a direct drop in and torque to specs??

Thanks

Jeff......look up, not down but up

 

?

I searched around and see Spoon and the JDM were recommended but no reasons were given for pros, cons, price, etc

 

I vote for Mugen. It is expensive...but worth it compared to the other stuff I've seen.



If you have interior, you will need to notch the rear plastic interior panels in order to accomodate the bar. Otherwise it will bolt right in.

 

i was wondering the same thing.. glad to see it asked.. hehe..

actually, i was also wondering about swapping in another strut bar.. i just wrecked my 00 Si and the bar survived and looked like it might fit.. wondering if anyone knows if it will.. i know, it's not nearly as good as a spoon or mugen, but would help a bit until i get around to getting a better one.. any idea?

 

$135? please tell me where...

 

benen looks like a quality piece also... and its cheaper than mugen...

Here's the Mugen bar with an interior

 

Haha...I almost forgot what the rear interior looks like.

 

Right now i am running the Cusco bar. It does not involve any cutting and it is a very sturdy piece. I believe there are two kinds of Cusco bar for the rear. One is somewhat dinky and the more expensive one is the one i have. The bar is almost 2 inches in diameter. I think it was about 165

 

I have the Spoon... I like it.

 

Does spoon involve cutting up interior??

The post at the top of this page (it's a sticky post, meaning it will stay at the top) is for the Carbing strut tower bars, very nice. The best bars are gonna be solid, no joints. (i.e. Mugen, Benen, Carbing, etc.)

 

So the Spoon bar @ $135 is a deal??

 

Yeah, where? I will buy like 10...is it brand new?

 

It was between $130-140 for the Spoon Rear Strut Tower Bar, I put $135 as the middle price

Let me know if you want a few and I'll see if he'll work out a deal with us buying in large quantities

I was wondering how did you notch it so cleanly?

 

spoon rear bar is awesome.

 

I've heard so many times that the rear tower bar doesn't makes a big difference?
Let's start this again

 

My vote goes for Benen... Best on the market today...

 

try to make a deal on the spoon bars for the 130 price...that is a great price. where are they located?

 

Get a bar that doesn't have pivot points like the Mugen or Carbing bars. If you really want a bar with pivot points my Cusco front/rear set is for sell ($200) because I will be replacing them with a Carbing Type II front/Type I rear setup.
