If it's for an Integra or EG-EK Civic, Carbing triangulation bar is a very nice piece. All others work about the same.

http://www.ipsracing.com www. jspecperformance.com http://www.randdracing.com can get it for you. I beleive it's around $300 or so.

They all work the same but it just depends on the weight , strength , price and the quality. I would go Mr. ALEX cuz its made by Cusco and pretty decent in quality.

For Gen 1 Mugen bar pic, click on my FS signature.

I've had both Gen1 and Gen2 and they both work the same. It's just different style. Gen1 just give you more bling, 'cuz very few has them.

Saw one the other week at P1. I'd say dem bars are made of steel by the look and weight of it. Welds on the that thing were awsome, really a quality peice.

My Cusco CF front and rear strut bars weighed as much as my old Mugen front. I like both of them equally, but chose the Cusco to be different.
