Hmm. I noticed a HUGE difference between a generic strut bar and the Neuspeed bar... I could tell the instant I drove out of the parking lot and out onto the street. Maybe I'm just more sensitive... I'm weird like that.

In a turn, because we have double wishbone suspension, most of the lateral force goes through the upper control arms. NOT THE SHOCKS. Which is why bracing the shock hat bolts is not very effective, nor the very top of the strut tower like the OEM GSR/ITR do.

Best = no joints in the bar. A bar with joints in it fails to control movement in the pivot axes of the joints... and that's no good. Get a Neuspeed bar. They're really good, and not that expensive either.

Do you have the Neuspeed that bolts to the firewall?

Nope. I didn't know they made one. I might pick up the Carbing bar later...

Also, the only problem I see with the Carbing bar is the way it is designed, you can not remove the brake resivior cap with it on.
