Is this type of strut bar design worth the extra dough? Thanks.

Just for the record, strut bars don't make the frame "stiffer" per se... they actually just reduce stress on the chassis. Most people think that the strut towers are in compression (they lean in towards eachother) during a turn. This is actually false. In a sharp left turn, the right tower is actually pulling OUTWARDS, and the left tower is actually pulling inwards. By putting a strut bar on, you are taking that torsional force and dispersing it amongst two towers instead of one... so really it should be called a force distributor. This will improve the longevity of your chassis, especially if you're running a stiff susspension setup.

Get the RIGID unit. not sure if its a knock off or not, but they're a lot cheaper. I believe I saw it for 170 somewhere at one of the parts sites.

Is this design better then the neuspeed 4 point? I really did like the neuspeed design but, now i think i need to consider this one. Moon eyes makes one just like the neuspeed for 3rd gen accords. Its what my moms two door has been rockin for a while now. But over all i had heard good things about that design.

Well in a dual wishbone suspension like honda's, the most force is transfered to the upper control arms. In a McFearson strut design, the force is transfered to the suspension Top hats. This design was incorrectly brought to the honda world with generic bars. With the Nuespeed bar, the bar braces the uppercontrol arms and not the top hats like many other bars. The carbing uses the tophats to brace, so its a downside, but it does add the 3 point which defently is a good thing. The carbing bar is extremly solid and does have the rear support, IMO it is defenlty better then the nuespeed, however, the nuespeed bar is a GREAT bar for the price.
