strut tower bar comparisons
IMO, I really just think it's about personal preference. No one bar is really going to stand out and be way better than the other if there even is a difference between any of them. In terms of handling I mean. But I think some of them have fitment problems?? Someone correct me if I'm wrong..
As far as I know, they're all the same. Pricewise, the Neuspeed is going to be the lowest stb (Thanks again Richard) and the most expensive is going to be the Feels carbon fiber stb (Which looks the best IMHO). The only one out of all of them that might be a concern is the Feels b/c even though you can close your hood, there's going to be a indentation mark on the underside of the hood.
I agree... they're all pretty much the same... it really boils down to what "look" you like under the hood.
Neuspeed is cheapest... but I'm not a big fan or the appearance or the feel of the bar... and it's painted, whereas I prefer something shiny!
Cusco is probably the next in price... good construction, but I don't like the quality of the welds as much... the blue strut tower mounts are cool though... and the bar is shiny!
Spoon is 3rd in terms of pricing... nice welds, quite light, very simple and elegant... has black mounts and polished bar... THIS IS THE ONE I HAVE (of course) !!!
RM Racing is slightly more expesive than the Spoon... don't know much about it though...
Comptech is pricier than the above STB's... but lots of great reviews and it seems much sturdier (but also heavier)... a different look with the anodized metal bar...
Feel's is most expensive... as has already been pointed out.
In Canada, I think availability is the biggest issue... and ordering from the US means customs and more $$$... I would recommend giving A&J Racing a call since they carry Spoon and Cusco and can order others if you want.
But if you want my BIASED opinion
, get either the Spoon or Cusco... very Japanese look...
