First......there has been no major evidence backing up that a front strut bar improves handling. Second of all.....Any solid bar that goes across will be as effective as any other brand. 3 point will not make much difference other than it being a selling point. Go on ebay and get a front and rear bar for like 40 bucks. Its solid and shiny. Don't buy it just cause its different. Its a freakin strut bar. Hell....get a welder to add the third point on for you. cheaper than 160 bucks!!
Triangulated strut bars are one of the most effective ways to maintain a consistant front suspension geometry in an integra. Triangulated strut bars basically eliminate any possible chassis flex in the shock towers/control arms... Overkill for most street applications, but they work and they work well

That "piece of crap" could withstand almost any suspension requirement a GS-R could handle. The only reason to really upgrade beyond the stock strut bar, IMO, is if you're moving to a new strut bar design, like Neuspeed's or a standard triangulated bar. It's an excellent and elegantly simple piece of hardware that works really well for what it's needed to do.
