Default 2000 V-6 Strut Bar

Does anyone make a good looking strut bar with decent performance for the 2000 V-6 model for under a 100 bucks?

strut bars are purely cosmetic. they really don't do much. there's only one bar i would suggest for your price range, it's the Neuspeed bar.

if you truely wanted a better ride, save the $$$ and get Comptech sways.

you can get the Acura tl-s strut bar for i think 40 or so dollars... you can also get the TL-S or CL-S rear sway bar (biggest difference) for around 60-85 dollars.

For strut bars for 98-02 Accord, unless you are all about show, I don't see any reason to get any strut bar other than the TL/CL-S Acura ones.

They are $50 and are going to be more effective than any aftermarket strut bar. The Comptech looks cool, but for $300, I don't think so.

Here's my TL-S:

The OEM Acura TL-S/CL-S Front strut bar is much better than using the Neuspeed bar with the original firewall<->strut bars.

The Comptech Titanium/Aluminum Strut bar maybe better, but for $300, you can get Comptech or Eibach Sway bars, which make a bigger difference than any strut bar could make.

BTW, strut bars are not different between I4s, and V6s.

not quite true. the DC Sports i4 bar is cut differently than the V6. the V6 bar had rubbing issues which caused fuel lines to break.

well, that means it was poorly designed. Doesn't the DC Sports bar consist of a flat metal bar with holes in it?
