Default comptech strut bars versus mugen strut bars

any of you know what the build quality and differences are between the two. The comptech pieces closely resemble mugen's..just wondering if I will get the same results with the comptech pieces as I would with the mugen pieces. I'm lookin at getting all the bars for my car. Wondering if the extra money spent is worth it.

The stock ITR bar is more than adequate.

Swaybars are far more important than strut bars. Get those first.

Thanks, but I already have the Ground Control (Eibach) 25mm rear sway. I was just wanting to stiffen up the entire chassis as a whole if that's possible.

So what exactly are you ranting about?

I'd say anti-sway bars are more important than strut bars on nearly anything regardless of suspension design.

Carbing 3 point isn't allowed in SCCA Solo 2..

And for the record, I like my Mugen Bars but, didn't notice any big difference. I wanted them for the Bling Factor.

I DID however notice a difference after having the Rollbar installed.

I'm sure I could sell the Mugen bars and reinstall the stock bar and get a JDM rear stock bar and most likely feel the same.

I was just trying to Keep the EGO from getting any larger!

He was not asking about Anti-Sway bars, He simply asked which If comptech Quality and Design is That of Mugen!

In which the Answer to his question would be Yes, You will notice no differnce in the Ride or performance of both Shock Tower bars (Mugen vs Comptech) being the Share Most of the same Qualitys, Yet your wallet will Feel Differnce being Mugen is High Priced!
