Default Best strut bar for DA Integra

I really want a Carbing/Rigid bar for my car, but I cannot find an application for it..
Also, the Spoon one looks flexy at mount points with its hinges.. Also, OptionsAutoSalon.com lists a Mugen bar, but Mugen doesn't have one on its site. hrmmm?? Well, whats the best F/R strut tower bar setup avail. for the DA?? Thanks

They all do a pretty good job, I have several friends with the Spoon ones and they seem to work very well for them. These bars only make the car feel more ridgid, it's not going to make a huge change like camber plates or coilovers. I believe most DC2 strut bars work on non-ABS DAs.

people can just take off the tab on the passenger side strut mount then you can use alot of the strut bars made for non abs applications. i know alot of ppl with abs equipped DA's want a strut bar but cant find one that fits. good luck

Unless you plan on serious racing, then you won't notice any difference between a Spoon bar and the $35 special on ebay. Admittedly, some bars brace additional points of the chassis (such as the firewall) and do a better job, but most don't. Unless it's a seriously rigid bar, like the Mugen, then don't expect to notice any difference from any particular strut bar to the next.

Sprint bar. Exactly like the neuspeed one but its a little bit cheaper Mounts to 4 points and it doesnt adjust, so its solid. Planning to get one for my DA soon.

lol Ive had 3 or 4 eBay front strut bars and NON of them fit and I dont have ABS. They are a pain so I gave up

For the rear part of the car ther is a TIGHT *** guy on g2ic.com name Ben Ogle
He makes his own name brand OgleSport bars.
-Rear Tower Strut bar
-Cpillar bar
-rear lower tie bar
they are all very nice; super durable, and for Ben.
I got all three for ~$225ish....
just some extra food for though...

Oh yea, this place sells some kool bars too for the rear. I really like the C-Pillar bar they have, it comes with cotter pins for quick removal in the case you have rear passengers. The rear strut tower bar is nice, but im not really a big fan of the addon cross bars n crap http://www.emracing.com/products.html

Little pricey though. I had an Ebay bar on the rear strut tower on my CRX, made a huge difference actually

they dont' make a mugen bar for a DA


for abs you have the Spoon bar, which barely clears the abs unit, still rubs though


for non abs best i believe is the neuspeed

IMO the best front is a neuspeed bar and the best rear would be a 1pc ben ogle bar.

For the rear, it doesn't matter if you have abs or not.
