Skunk2 Strut tower bars any good?
Anyone use them?
They look similar to Spoon...but costs less.

 

it think they all does the same job. some just looks better than the other. im satisfied with the stock strut bar

 

All 2 points function the same. You wont feel a big difference. 3 points make a much bigger difference but are not allowed in some SCCA classes and such.

In short, if you want a two point, all brands are equal.

 

i have them om my car...a considerable difference

 

They Look Identical to the spoons, I have a lot of respect for Skunk 2 though, they have some top-notch products.

 

just get the OEM one for the TYPE R, or the GSR, dont waste 200 or more on strut tower braces

 

Anyone know if you have to cut the Interior plastic sides for installation of the Skunk2 rear strut bar?

 

yes you do

 

ask ithrowpoop he has the skunk2 front and rear skunk2 strut bar in his gs-r. he said he felt a noticble difference. i've been looking for them too. cheapest i've found it for was for 139.99 at options auto salon. i'm sporting the type-r one, i didn't really feel a difference from stock gs-r one.

 

That sucks...

 

More specifically do you have to cut the strut covers (pic) or the side of the interior?



Any pictures of Skunk2 rear bars on Integras would help!!

 

listining in

 

The Skunk2 strutbars are very nice. Like Zero said, they pretty much function the same until you go up in point braces. Then they get a tad stiffer.

 

the bars are very nice. you do have to cut the interior for the rear ones, but you can still use the plastic strut tower caps. the front one is the same as the spoon one and the rear one is similar to the mugen one. it mounts directly across.

 

The OEM JDM ITR, Neuspeed, Cusco and Spoon rear tower bar have mount brackets that are a few inches tall, just like the OEM ITR JDM rear tower bar.. so like the above pic, you only have to remove or cut that removable panel.

Skunk2 is not this way, Mugen is not this way.... on these, the mount brackets are only an inch tall or less, so you will have to cut the sidepanels. Heh, this low profile Mugen and Skunk2 mount brackets are a stiffer design but not noticably stiffer.
