I'm looking for opinions on front tower strut bars for a 95 SE teg?
OBX
Skunk2
DC Sports
Mugen
anything else that is equal or better
Any input would be great
Thanks in advance

 

i hear Neuspeed is pretty good.

oh and forget about DC and OBX. OBX is crap and DC has holes in the bar. not good. :nono:

skunk2 and mugen look good but alittle pricey. $$$

 

yes I realize that I misspelled strut....:stupid:

 

mugen makes a sexy beefy bar.:thumbup:

 

I really like the ITR front and rear strut bars...nothing beats OEM quality...well Mugen and Spoon come pretty damn close if not better.

 

it depends....are you looking for performance, or just show? the most effective front strut bar is the neuspeed 4pt which mounts directly to your upper control arms....

 

what about some of those other 4pt bars with 2 mounting points on the firewall?

 

the 4 pt that mount to the engine wall are actually very good too :uh: I forgot about them (mainly because they aren't allowed in SCCA auto-x'ing), the brace the upper towers very well. However, remember that most of the stress in our double wishbone is directed at the upper control arm mount, not the strut towers

 

I have cheap bars from eBay and they are actually really strong and work. The reason they don't cost much is because there is no warranty, small company, probably not much quality control, and are an almost universal fit (pretty adjustable in several places). Mine don't have any quality defects, so the only problem I face is the fitment. They do fit perfectly, but the fact that they're adjustable makes proper installation a pain, and after enough use they'll start to loosen up. Tightening them back up is pretty quick and easy though, and they don't come loose fast at all.

For me, they were definately worth the $30-40 I spent for both the front and rear bars and they do make a noticable performance improvement. I don't know if the rear bar made much of a difference, but the front one did for sure. I actually went out and tested my speed through some curves before and after installation. It's certainly not as big of a difference as when I installed my Type-R rear sway bar, but it's still an undeniable improvement, none-the-less.

 

in no way does the neuspeed bar mount directly to the upper control arms....
