strut bar question

[916EK]

I'm wondering if the brand of a strut bar matter. I have a 97 EK and I am willing to get some strut bar soon so I was just wondering if the brand makes any different

its not the brand dat matters, but the design. you want a solid piece i.e. oem bars

i would say cusco, tein & comptech are functional tower bars.
bars from e-bay are purely for looks

 

[Jezek]

It's a metal bar.....all you are paying for is a nametag.

the $15 strut bar in my old civic worked just fine.

passwordjdm.com has some nice quality bars without the pricetag.

i dont agree that a $15 strut bar off of ebay is equal to a firewall mounting triangular cusco or password bar.. im not talking s**t and sure it MIGHT be mental.. but the car felt MUCH mroe rigid in the front over bumps and s**t when i first put the password bar in..

Sorry, I was refering to the basic strut bar that only goes across....not in a triangular fashion

you don't have an ek, but don't worry, we won't hold it against you

i say get a stock si strut bar and call it a day. cheap, oem, and does the job. if you like the bling, get the password 3point.

i agree that the oem ones are good.. i have a honda access optional strut tower bar for an EK9 in my closet that ill be selling.. i just went with the password bar because it looking nicer.. BUT now that its on.. i think its definately better picking up that third tie in point..

Tein doesn't make strut bars do they??

yes they do.. not sure if its for honda yet.. but its just a normal single point bar.. if you have the moncey to drop.. id really consider the 3 point..

 

[steve98ex]

just make sure its a solid bar, not something cheap with pivot points on the ends. the above mentioned are good, also neuspeed makes a good strut bar

 

[potatobiker8]

i have a neuspeed on mine and i like it

 

[EXSpeedAddict]

i have a Vibrant strut bar on the front ($25), and you can def feel a difference after bolting it on, even though its just a 2 point one (connecting the two strut tops, no firewall mount)
