I have to say the cusco is a good design in relation to the comptech, however the fastener on the nedge of the strut tower is what I dont like. The comptech has two allen nuts where the cusco appears to have only one fastening point. I tend to think the extra allen bolt makes for a more rigid connection. I went into this in a Statics course one time at Penn State and the two fasteners were better in that case, but it was not this object.

The Comptech has 4 allen bolts (2 on front, 2 on rear) connecting the brace to the bracket for a total of 8 (4 on each brace)...

And Spoon also makes an excellent Strut Tower Bar. Mine was $187 USD delivered.

Tom, do you think we have enough interests in the Mugen front sway bar to do a GB with King?

I don't have the Mugen bar yet, but will have one as soon as we have a group buy

That's 3, who else want's in?

Personally I waited just for the Neuspeed bar. It has no pivot points no areas to tighten no allen bolts to hold it together. Its a rigid bar that does not pivot(hopefully not flex either).

I will be ordering mine tonight with the discount its only 86 bucks. Can't beat that!

Comptech, customized with S2000 logo along with Spoon X-brace. Will post pictures of the former installed in my car this weekend.

Just got my Neuspeed STB today so I got to go with Neuspeed STB. Besides it is way cheaper compare to others (I paid $111 including tax and UPS shipping). It looks great...
