There's no option for none. I used to have an ebay one, but it didn't fit after installing GC upper mounts so it never went back on. I didn't notice any difference without it though.

$22 shipped on eBay. Even if it doesn't help (which I think it does), it looks nice

IMO the only thing that would make any difference at all is one that's triangulated to the firewall (Password, etc). There just isn't that much flex between the shock towers on our cars. Now cars with McP struts are a different story

You forgot to add an option for NONE! If you want real reinforcement, get a roll-cage (or at least a roll-bar). Don't forget your helmet & 5-point harnesses though...

Every civic in my area I see is covered with these stupid bars. I actually saw one retard with a C-pillar bar attached at the B-pillar (right behind his head) in a 6th gen Prelude. He kept his seat way back so it wouldn't hit the bar, and he drove all hunched over like a gorilla (he was very short). If he EVER got rear-ended, it would easily take off the top of his melon...

Hehe... My bad, I just assumed preludes were like civics (I must have been thinking Accords). It was a 96+...

Even then the difference is barely noticeable, I used to drive an STi (MacP at all 4 corners) and only noticed a tiny difference and even then it was only when I was hitting curbs at the track. I still ran them, but only because they offered ones on E-bay that fit well for $50 for F/R. Mine wasn't triangulated to the firewall and I have a feeling that would do a lot more.

i had a ebay upper strut bar on my 4 door integra, and it was my favorite mod, the car was much stiffer...The reason why I may i felt such a difference is probaby cause the car was older

Eibach. I've used cheapo ones in the past. This one actually works, very thick. It does increase understear but is much tighter.
