Default 88-91 CRX Si Front Strut Tower Brace

What is the current best brace to buy these days. I tried to find a DC one. No Luck there. Building a SCCA FP road racing racecar.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

They're all the same. Just buy any of them. I'd say the Password:JDM brace is one of the best. Neuspeed is good too. I have a Backyard Special.

the neuspeed is the best for the money. Its steel and does not bend. those aluminum ones are kinda flimsy

I like my Neuspeed. The three anchor point Password JDM is probably a little stronger/stiffer. Steer clear of the aluminum Ebay garbage.

i have/had a neuspeed. i need to buy the password bar though, because it doesnt clear a k series.


any takers?

edit: i meant the neuspeed doesnt clear the K swap. the password bar does.

I bought a password bar for my STS2 car because it's light. It's aluminum and strong in the axis that matters. The only problem is that it hits the dashpot on the side of the throttle body ocassionally. I'm going to put some washers between the bar and the body to raise it a hair. I wouldn't get the nuespeed bar even though I had one in the past because it's so damned heavy.

Best one is a bar welded across the towers.

why does everyone want a password, when they can have an explicitspeed performance 3 pt bar.

But OP a three point or the Neuspeed is for sure the best bet

A solid 3 pt steel strut bar will be much stronger and it's function will be fully maximized over a solid aluminum 3 pt bar. Steels stronger no mystery
