I was thinking of getting this Comptech strut bar, but spending $200+ for it might be hard to do. Is there a huge difference in going from stock to aftermarket? Thanks....


Strut Tower Brace, Front upper - Clear Billet (99-00 Civic Si)
$229.00
Front strut tower brace, clear anodized
More than twice the stiffness of the stock
bar, up to 10 times stiffer than the others.

 

It would bump you out of stock.

 

Doesn't a header do that already?

 

No, it's not a huge difference. The money would be better spent elsewhere.

 

only things allowed in stock:

He knows that he's not in stock anymore anyway...

 

yeah, thats what I meant above.

 

using this kind of info to sell a bar =

the stock unit is fine...
if you have high spring rates and sticky tires you 'may' want to upgrade.

 

werd (real time still runs stock front bar)

 

I'm running the Honda Type-R bar, and they look just like the Comptechs that you have a picture of. I've got the front and rear bars installed. They cost me about $210, including shipping. They were sold as a kit from here.

The brackets on my are steel and the bars are aluminum. That is what the Comtechs look to be also.

Just for the record, they were put on a 92 Civic Si.

 

Thanks all, i'll save my $$ and stick with the stock.
