Default Strut Tower Bars

I just got a Skunk2 front strut tower bar. The way it is put together with the screws to hold the mounts to the actual bar seems pretty lame. The bar can easily be twisted back and forth.

So my question is what strut tower bars (front or rear) does everyone out there have? How much improvement have you actually got from one. Does the three piece (mounts and bar) type actually work worth a ****?

Oh yah. If anyone has some GOOD pictures of the various types I would like to check out the construction of the various brands.

Have a follow-up question. Which rear strut bar can I get that will fit without cutting the black plastic stuff?

I've had the Nuespeed on 3 of my cars, it's the best I've seen. Not saying it's the best, but it's damn good compared to most, and only around $90

Have you bought a Nuepseed bar, Noe?
I'm still wondering if they fit with our brake setup.

If you are speaking of missing the larger EX master cylinder, yes they fit. I have a Neuspeed front upper and the EX m/c on mine.

I am running a neuspeed solid bar on the front. Excellent fit and it stiffened up the front end quite a bit.

Bump cause I'm still wondering if any one knows of a rear strut bar that you don't have to cut up the plastic for?
