Default strut tower bars for em2

Hi everyone!
I'm Michael and i'm new here.

I'm thinking about some struts for my em2.
Maybe about:
- front upper
- rear upper and lower tie

Any suggestions about brand, model?
something good from ebay?


I have Civic EM2 2001 , D17A8.

Thanks.

Koni STR-T are good for general daily use and function as quality stock replacements. Or buy new ones from Honda. Stay away from Monroe or most other parts store brands. Effing awful.

Are you asking for struts, or strut tower bars? Because they're entirely different things.

Front - Neuspeed
Rear upper - unnecessary (structurally, that is)
Rear lower - ASR (if you have an aftermarket anti-sway bar, if you don't... its unnecessary as well)

Not really. It'd be overkill for that factory anti-sway (RSX rear subframes are practically the same configuration as the Civic's).

Just a heads up in case you haven't considered it: If I recall correctly, if you go the RSX sway bar route you will need new bushings to accomodate the larger bar diameter.

Chinese/Taiwanese garbage, much like the majority of the stuff on eBay.
