Dude, strut bars dont really make a difference on any street cars. As far as the neuspeed goes, it doesnt atach to the firewall, but you leave the stock strut bar on. Strut bars are mostly for looks. I got my nuespeed for $50, from a freind who got the comptech. If I was going to pay regular price, teh neuspeed is not worth the money, although I can get a new neuspped for around 85 shipped. If you really want a strut bar that "makes a difference" and looks nice as hell get teh comptech, if you got anextra 250 to spend.
