Default Which Strut Tower Braces?

I've been thinking a lot lately, and I may be upgrading my suspension; it's hard to choose between a full stock-rebuild of the motor w/ H22 pistons and a nice shot of nitrous, or a motor that burns oil but a car that handles like a drea, SO.....

If I decide to buy strut tower braces, what kind should I go with, and which one can I go without? I've heard people say not to get the rear one, others say not to get the front one. Which is it? And what's a good cheap bar? I may end up welding one up for myself, to make sure it's stiff

And I can't search now, b/c searching the archives is disabled for some reason, so now b*tching about that please....

If you get the Tein or Mugen suspension, I suggest getting the JDM Prelude Type S strut tower brace.

The brand does not make a difference. Just get which ever is the cheapest one. You can get some nice looking bars on ebay for like $30 shipped. I promise you that you would not be able to tell a difference in the car in a blind test of a cheapo bar VS Neuspeed/Spoon/whatever.

I considered getting an ebay bar for a while, but then I saw the pix of the DC Sports bar and how much it bent, and I knew the ebay ones couldn't be any better.

Neuspeed all the way!!! DON"T get the cheap ones. I bought a cheap one for the rear and i had to cut and grind just to make it fit!!
And as everyone else has said NO FLEXING! looks DAM good too.
Look how nice the Neupseed looks under the hood!!
