Neuspeed (or the sprint bar, both the same thing, sprint costs less though). The Neuspeed and sprint one is solid

I was going to get the cusco front upper but found out that it wasnt solid (and that its adjustable as well) so I went with the neuspeed bar.

Hmmmmm....that would explain the slow response to the sale!!! Hahaha...I am fixing it...

And as far as the Cusco bars being adjustable and whatnot, you apparently did not notice that Cusco has like 7 different kinds of strut bars.....some are adjustable and some are not. The really have the biggest one I have ever seen with the type 40....40mm diamter bar, non adjustable ends!

Skunk2

The bars are super strong and super lite!

I there are a lot of bars out there that you can bend by standing on them

You need to get something that is stong enough to support some real pressure.

I have had a few different bars on my car and IMO Skunk2 is the best quality for the price!

I got those too, made a noticible difference even if they may not be the best ones out there. Definately was a good buy. THese don't bend by standing on them, unless you are a real, real big guy.

Cusco on the front upper (becuause they are the only ones I know that make the front lower)

I was thinking of getting those considering there's not too much you can mess up with a metal bar (aside from bad materials). Have to do MPFI swap first though

Any strut bar made out of aluminum with swiveling ends is a "look" piece, rather than a true performance piece.
if what you want is performance, then get Neuspeed's bar. Or any other RIGID bar made out of steel.

Like I said, a brand name will be better, but you really could feel a difference with the Ebay ones, I was very sceptical when I bought them on a whim, but I do belive the differences with the Nuespeed ETC the better solid steel ones woul dbe greater. THes cheapies do make a noticible difference however.

I just got a shitty no name brand one in my CRX and it made a huge difference when I powered into and around corners. I didnt see much of a difference when I changed it with a Cusco one I installed on a friends hatch.

Well I will bet the guys who race autocross and road corses would be able to quantise the differenceses beween good ones and noname cheapies like I have with track times, but going in a sceptic I did see big changes. Even with cheap ones, it really tightened up the car, A LOT.
