I really can't notice any difference. But the best front strut bars are the 3-point ones, such as Carbing or PasswordJDM.

my tanabe strut was stiff as hell and made a huge difference, but like most suspension products they work best in combonations with others like sway and coilvoers

the 3-points are the best but i cant tell much difference other than when you have some super sticky tires on there. even then its not a huge difference. it's not very cost effective and its better to spend money elsewhere.

maybe you will feel the diff..if you drive hard into corners..but it will work better if you have installed the right bars for your car..

suspension components must be looked as a whole system..so everything will be balanced..and it must taper to your driving habits

I've had the best results from the Neuspeed four-point. It helps turn-in a lot and makes for smoother transitions in direction and elevation. It's not a "huge" change, but it's one that you'll notice if you pay attention.

i used to always get the neuspeed bars..
then i started using the stock gsr type bars.
i think the 3 point ones are mainly for show and not worth the money.

if you actually look at your engine bay, the firewall is less than a foot from where the bar mounts, and is much stronger i'd think.

They are and the aren't. As with most else on H-T, it's a bandwagon part. I'm not saying it doesn't work, however most people don't track their car and take full advantage of it. Hell for what you pay for one, you can almost build a suspension.

There's really no point to a 3-point in a DD. My OEM Si one works fine for me.
