Default dc strut bars review

theres some debate on the dc strut bars saying its more for show than for its original purpose. they are nice and all (i have them) but they are not as stiff as some other bars. does that matter?

also what do you guys think of dc bars fitting into a JDM theme?
or ?

JDM theme?

Do what you think is best theme?

DC bars are fine since you don't seem to be doing any road course events.

Are we referring to the old style DC strut bars, or their new "titanium" ones?

I didn't know they made new ones, but the old ones blow.

The are so flimsy it's not even funny. Although I haven't tried I bet I could break it with my hands
I'd say it's safe to say they are strictly for show, and with that being said I don't even think they look that great.

Woah!

Anyway, DC sports are not JDM. I think a carbing or an ITR bar are your only choices.

is that what it's come to? anything not jdm is rice?
I've had 3 dc strut bars for a long time and they definetely made a huge difference in my handling. Are there other brands that are better and will do the job better? absolutely.

they are only flimsy when you tighten them on and when its on the car. maybe theres a reason they are designed to be flimsy? .. why is it that back then in the 90's people were crazy for dc. lol. did it take a decade to finally realize dc is not a good brand? opinions please

Not that I know exactly what I'm talking about when it comes to integra modificatons right not, but from my research so far CompTech, Carbing and Benen seem to be the top right now. But they are also $$$$$$$.

Don't shoot me I'm wrong, this is just the info I've gathered from here and other boards.

i put them on my civic when i "upgraded" from ebay specials. needless to say they gave a way looser feel to the car. just my 2 cents
