I think its rice to want others to see your name brand parts in your engine bay. Keeping a low profile is the best way to get a smooth car. I say get the ebay one if its SUBSTANTIALLY less than passwordjdm's. WHAT....... is all this BS lately about having to have a part that everyone else knows about. I could start a kick *** company tomarrow and no one would know about it, so why should I rock all this name brand **** when there IS NEW STUFF OUT THERE! go for it man i prolly will!

$150 shipped.

It looks like a solid bar, which should be better than an adjustable bar. I don't even know how much the PW 3 point bar is.

For that price, may as well go with a Neuspeed Solid bar. It's cheaper anyway.

it honestly looks like it'd be a real heavy piece, and possibly not very evenly balanced (weight) but I dont know.

would a 3 point strut bar cause clearance issues with a B16A in a CRX? also, would there be any clearance issue with a 89 prelude master cylinder?

Looks like it would work fine, but you have to decide what is important.

on one hand, it is a chinese knock-off. they swiped the design and duplicated it with cheaper materials. Its like buying a bootleg cd or dvd, the quality just isn't there most of the time. hehe, I wonder how much lead is in that paint!

on the other hand, it is almost half what a passwordjdm one costs.

it looks like if you have a brake booster upgrade it wouldn't fit.



it looks like that thing goes right over it. but it could just be the angle
