Tie bars, strut tower bars...What to choose?

[Addict]

What's the difference in brands? Some sell for big $. Some are cheap. But they all seem to do exactly the same thing. The reason I ask is that I'm going to be getting the rear lower tie bar and a rear strut tower bar soon and I need some suggestions.

What have you guys had good results with?

i got a DC sports rear strut tower bar, i like it, they are a lot of money but i got a good deal on them 175 for front and rear, apexi pro 1 exhaust(not cat back), and weapon R intake

Get the ones that arent adjustable like Neuspeeds, they will be stiffer.. Alot of time your paying for the name tho.

Kinda my thoughts. I had cheap APC strut tower bars on my EX and they did the trick.

you really do pay for the name, its like looking at the price of the comptech or the dc stuff compared to something like apc or tenzo.

Neuspeed cheap, neuspeed best imo, no pivots

[slowEJ6]

i suggest neuspeed units as well......they are spectacular. too bad benen doesnt make more stuff for the EK ;(

i had some off the wall brand and they are ok IMO. the only thing left on my car is the rear tie bar (yeah the one underneath). I paid for all 3 of them half the price 90civiclxryder paid for one ;) )

yea i've had several differnt bars and they all do pretty much the same.. but yea the solid bars w/ out pivot joints are stiffer.. but the other bars werk just as well..;)

Well I went with all DC Sports stuff. I got the rear lower tie bar, rear upper and front upper. I liked the looks of the stuff. Hey even I like a little flair(aka "rice") on my ride.....;)

i heard that dc bars tend to bend sometimes. That's what i heard on ph so if they were lieying i'm lieing too :cool: .

I guess if you stand on them they would. Once they're attached I don't see how they would bend out of shape. Its not like I race Auto-X. I just wanted some extra stiffness....and the looks...;)

I have the rear lower and front upper on now with my KONI Sports & Eibach Sportlines. So far so good..... I'll let you all know how I like it in a few days.
