Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    strut bars

    witch one should i get

    #2
    Personally, I'd get the second one given those choices. The front bar is the most important one.

    However, if you want something that REALLY works, the 4 point bar from Neuspeed is the one you want. However, if you have, or plan to install, a DOHC engine, it won't fit.

    Another great option is a bar from ESP (www.explicitspeedperformance.net), who is a very reputable company with their own "member shop" here on this site. Their products are perfect, and their customer service is superb. Their prices are more than fair as well.

    You get what you pay for.

      1st ones look cheap.

      2nd one looks much stronger.

        1st ones are a solid tube, so they MAY be strong... but yeah, they look like crap.

        I have a Megan Racing bar in my car (a DC Sports knockoff... half the price, identical bar). It's very rigid. Not as good as the Neuspeed or ESP bars (I have an H22, so Neuspeed is a no-go for me) but a good bar. Very inexpensive, too.

          Neither. Any bar with a bolt as the flex point will be useless. I'd suggest a straight bar with no "bolt flex points".

          aka Neuspeed Bar & ESP.

            My Megan bar is similar to #2 there... and while I don't disagree that a solid design is superior, that design is functional. The cheap Matrix bar that I had prior to the Megan bent. As long as the bar is ridig, it will do some good.

              I just ordered a Megan racing strut bar that looks like #2 so I would go with #2 if I were you.

                I don't want to sound like a dick but these bars won't do much if anything for your handling. The car will feel different but that's about it.

                You need a triangulated bar that ties back to the firewall so the strut towers are supported by a more significant part of the chassis and not just tied to each other.

                    X2 I can't say from personal experience as far as the Neuspeed or the ESP bar because I have never driven with either on my car, but I have a Neuspeed i'm mounting tomorrow and will know first hand then lol. As far as ESP though i've NEVER read or heard any complaints about them. So far what i've read is that it may take a minute to get shipped to you, but that's because they hand make every piece as it's ordered. It's not mass produced by a machine or assembly line. Everyone has been happy with them. Either of those two choices and you can't go wrong. I got an ebay bar once for the fron that came with my Megan rear because the guy didn't want it and I got it for cheap and it ended up flexing adn staying bent in the center of it and that's exactly the opposite of what you want. You really do get what you pay for so measure twice and cut once. Good luck.
