Pretty sure the neuspeed one bolts to the chassis and not the strut bolts. Will have to find a used one because they are no longer made.

what's the difference? on the struts or on top? there really is non. the whole point of that piece of metal is to help prevent that gaping hole that your engine is sitting in from flexing. so on the strut or on top of it, it really makes no difference.

the only difference i can see is getting one that is solid. that would be the only difference on which one would be better or not. other then that they all do what they were meant to do. keep the front end from flexing

If you want a good non adjustable bar, go with a Cusco, thats what i run.

if only i could be a certified HONDA engineer i could but the true is
alot of autoX Fwd cars do not used Strut bars cuz at heavy weigh or Gs turns the upper mounts strut bolts will flex causing understeer

im very familiar with that OS type Cusco bar but when i noticed the ITR one thats wat caught my eyes an i asked my self why didn't Honda put them in the upper mounts is logical
they just looking to stiffen the chassis not the suspension
