forgot to add that it doesn't sit higher on one side (both the same) but it does rub a little bit on the hood but i guess i should have expected that since these bars are made for an Sir. BTW the spoon bars work great, they are really tight in turns (better than my other ebay brand ones) plus it adds to the JDM bling bling

wow spoon. pay $400 for a piece of metal bar. take a thick pipe and weld it to your strut towers and you'll have BETTER than spoon.

Ya and it'll look like **** too if it's not done right. I noticed a difference even going over bumps in the road. Can feel them much more.... And they aren't 400. USD they are 200. CDN they are just under 300.


Spoon Fed. Your bar looks to be level. So I take it mine is whacked.... I'll go see what the shop sez that I got it at....

That front one looks pretty sad. In the pics it reminds me of the ebay ones... not very impressed.

man thats a grip to drop on a strut bar imo.
if you're happy with it though then thats cool. spoon stuff is definately quality, just way overpriced.

just giving my opinion, but as far as lower strut tie bars go, honestly, save your money. springs, shocks, swaybars, and even poly bushings will all do far more for your cars handling & feel than tacking on a bunch of tie bars.

ok...one, thats is probably one of the dumbest things i've ever heard.

two, springs, shocks and sway bars will help you to an extent. but if you have a chassis (the del sol for example) which is structurally not one of the most rigid ones ever made by honda, you'll definetly get an extra edge w/ strut tower bars and tie bars. i mean, if they didn't do that much...why would the R's come with them?

do ITR's come with lower strut tie bars? (i don't know)
I know they come with a front strut tower bar along with upgraded shocks, springs, and swaybars.
