Default Neuspeed front upper strut bar on EP3?

Anyone have one installed? Pros/Cons?
I might be getting one and would like to know if it is ok to use with a stock suspension. I will have springs later in the spring '04. What is a good price to pay for a used one (polished). Thanks.

Nice suspension mod. I had neuspeed front upper strut bar on my old car. front strtut bar will make the front end more stiff allowing the suspension to work better, but it keeps the same roll couple distribution (Handling balance), because spring rates/roll rates were not changed.

i've got it. it made a very positive impact once i lowered the car. I doubt you'll notice it much when the car is on stock springs. The chassis is pretty stiff, but anytime you use stiffer springs, the added stiffness is always a plus.

Make sure the little caps on the bar stay on tight on the Neuspeed bar. If not, you'll get water down in the bolt holes and things will start to rust.
