You could get a fake Mugen 4 point bar off ebay for like 50 shipped. Mounts in 4 places and just as rigid

I run one on my hatch and like it better than the ITR bar

if you're about function and cost, the fake Mugen one is better.

not at all. I am very pleased with it. Doesn't flex like the other cheap brands and the 4 mounting points are very nice

Was I replying to you? No. I was replying to Emerika (hence the reason I replied to his post and quoted his post). He will know what I am talking about.

lol you're right. this isn't a discussion forum for anyone put you. It was a joke regarding his unique selection of what he considers upgrades, one of them a part of this post.

I wasn't aware that you were the walking, talking ToS. Next time I'll IM you before I post anything to make sure you approve.

BTW, your car is a USDM 1995 Integra LS, not a JDM ITR

yes it is, considering he does not have a strut bar on his car

And sturut bars are a LOT different than wheels. I think most people agree with me that Enkei makes better wheels than Rota

it mounts to the shock mounting bolts and the factory holes for a strut bar


thought you could see in this pic, but I guess not

I'm just trying to give the guy a cheaper alternative, which from my experience, is better then the stock ITR bar and feels just as good as a Mugen front bar. I've had them all. I'll take the 50 dollar bar and call it a day

FWIW, I don't run a strut bar at all. I see no need to and noticed no difference. I'm sure it makes one, but not that I noticed so it wasn't worth the time to tighten those four nuts.

And I bent my Enkei's (stock wheels) on a medium size pothole, it took a 40mph curbing to bend my rota. There is a reason I support Rota's, it's not because they look like bling bling forged wheels.

The Type R STB is Just Fine and for 80 shipped is a great price. The Fake MUGEN is fine I wouln't get it. Both have 4 mounting points so Where is that argument coming from?

strangely when I removed my front bar the car felt unstable at highway speeds, which was very unexpected... as for mounting this fake bar on 4 points, i still don't see it.. i see it mounting with 4 studs, but not 4 points

now I see what you guys are calling mounting points (which doesn't make sense to me).. okay, then how many 'points' is the surface it's mounted to then?..

FWIW, I dont agree with you

The fake Mugen bar is more solid than I would expect, but I would still take the OEM R bar over it...not that I notice much of a difference with any of the above anyway.

To get back to the original post....

Ask the buyer for some pics of the mounting brackets and a side shot of the bar itself.
The mounting brackets should be graphite colored.
The side view of the bar show vertical support beams inside the bar.


BTW: I love all the "butt-skidpad" handling assessments of how much these bars help your car handle on the street.
FWIW: I bought a geniune oem front strut brace from a local R owner and couldn't feel a thing on the street.
