Good? Bad? Crap? Dookie on a stick?

Becasue I wanna stiffen up my car. I already have planned to get Tokico Illums. But also was thinking aslo of some struts. But this is the first time I see something like this. Do or dont?

that price would be awesome if the pieces were quality. ive got a knockoff upper pair of type r strut tower braces. they even came with purty civic type r stickers! oh wait, i dont care about stickers cause im not a ricer. they havent bent or warped yet... the bars, not the stickers.

struts?

First of all a strut is a type of damper, similar to the shocks on our cars.

Second, our cars don't have any types of struts in the suspension, they use coilover-type shock absorbers.

That auction is for front and rear upper shock tower braces and lower subframe braces.

Technically, it's a spring, not a damper.

And the mugen front bar is pretty good, and the rear strut tower brace pictured above is certainly better than nothing.

Cheers,
Roy

The mugen strut braces are kool, but not for the money, check out the JG front strut bar and the skunk2 rear most band for the buck, but to tell u the truth, its better just to get a 4-6 point roll cage, in the long run its cheaper than buying bar after bar.
