sort of in the market for strut bars and tie bars and just curious if a strut bar is a strut bar regardless of name brand. i know that everyone says that a one piece is better but who makes a good one for a good price. i don't mind spending the money for a good accessory but it has got to be significantly better than the rest. also curious who makes a 24 mm rear sway bar for a 00si and should i upgrade my front as well

I think your stock strut bar is just as good as any other.
For the rear you could get an ITR bar, Suspension Techniques, Neuspeed, Comptech, or Skunk2.

I'm still trying to figure out which is best but any of them will make a very noticable difference.

 

A great improvement to your stock strut bar would be the Neuspeed tie bar. Twice as stiff.

 

Spoon Sports Front and Rear Strut Bars. Carbing Front and Rear Lower Tie Bars.

If your interested we can work out a package for you

 

Mike I am interested in one of those front Carbing bars the front upper. How much?

 

hey i've never even heard of carbing tie bars, what do those look like?

 

http://www.aj-racing.com has some pics of the carbing on their site.

 

i'd recommend running the comptech rear swaybar/tie bar combo. running the 24mm swaybar may tear up your subframe.

A lot of people recommend the Neuspeed bar, but for the price I am just not seeing it. I bought one that was around $45, and I noticed a diff. when I put it on my car. I have taken it off and put it back on several times, and the difference is noticeable.

 

Sorry I don't have any of the Upper ones (STBs) in at the moment. Only the Lower Tie Bars.

We also have our own brand which is a 4 point bar for the front.
