All you gotta look for in a sturt tower brace is if it's once piece or not. Less movement/flex when it's one piece. The mugen bar is nice, and you can get comparable pieces for less, and it is the better choice. I'm still gonna go for the mugen one though

If you can afford it, get it! Otherwise, look for a bar that doesn't have adjusters (like the DC & Mugen ones), seems to me that defeats the purpose of the bar

Was it Neuspeed or DC that makes the solid piece bar?

wow im suprised you said this
as for the mugen bar i love mines
its thick strong and made extremely well
i bought it cuz i got it for a good price (GB) and i wanted to treat myself to a nice piece
but like B said there are other equivalents and i actually want to try and find a 3pt bar
jg edelbrock introduced one out at IAS this year and there are a few JDM bars, that may or not fit with our MC's in the way

but the ones i suggest are
neuspeed
benen (but not front bar available yet, although a rumored 3pt is in the works)
mugen
spoon

btw, ive held hte mugen bar...and from what i know you dont actually use the stock strut holes. that in itself could improve rigidity. it is a very classy piece that is worth its weight in showiness. in comparison the the dc sports bar i find it to be about the same weight but far more rigid. mugen has a certain understated elegance that comes with all incredibly expensive things.
