Default Upper strut bar.........Do you prefer adjustable or non-adjustable?

Title saids it all.

And are there specific brands you recommend or are all of them pretty much the same?

Non adjustable is the best strut bars available, joints and heim setups will cause a weak point making it not as functional as a solid strut bar...

I agree I had an adjustable for awhile then i bought a cheap solid one from Neuspeed and it was a world of an improvement. Go solid you won't regret it.

The Neuspeed's go for about $125. And i used to own one. But the thing is that they might compromise rigidity because they go off into two separate points when bolting to the strut towers. The more expensive pieces seem to be one solid piece which probably makes them more rigid and in the end, doing its job better.

So that's something to consider. I think like strut tower bars, you do get what you pay for. Some ebay crap won't do squat IMO.

i had a new speed one as well. It was alright. I think it was a 35mm unit. SOLID!
Well I know rally cars have solid ones... soft medium and hard. they just swapt out and install the right one for the job.

I just got my carbing bar....it is pure sex


Not only is it solid construction, but it has a built in master cylinder brace too...Unfortunately, I haven't used it yet...so I can't say for sure what kind of a difference it will make...
