I noticed a HUGE difference with my lame no name brand (obx I think) strut tower brace.

I am lowered and all that, but I did notice a huge difference.

Go with an ITR brace, Nuespeed, or Mugen/Skunk2.

The Neuspeed bar bolts directly to the upper control arms (a.k.a. the "camber mounts" ). The bar is directly attatched to your suspension. Pretty much everything else bolts up to the shock towers which is plain ole sheet metal. The benefit? The Neuspeed bar limits deflection of the suspension, while the other stuff limits deflection of the sheetmetal which in turn helps limit deflection of the suspension. In simpler terms, it's cheap and works better than most other stuff anyway. Get the Neuspeed.

Neuspeed :thumbup:

I bought mine for $96...if you don't currently have a strut bar on your car now, I highly recommend getting one.

Update. Just ordered the spoon sports strut bar. I know blah blah its just a name but i believe they are very dedicated to their products and more importanatly know what there doing. If im not mistaken it bolts to the top of the shocks so it supports it instead to the neudspeed that supports the control arms hence the whole deflection thing. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I believe the JDM ITR has a rear bar, I was thinking of sway bars, rather that strut tower bars in my last post. If he has an RS, they have much thinner sway bars than the GSR
