Neuspeed vs. DC Sports

I will be purchasing the front upper and lower and rear upper and lower stabilizer bars. I need to know what do you guys prefer Neuspeed or DC Sports?

Thanks,

Yes, you need the OEM bar with hardware and use of a Beaks reinforcement kit is recommended. If you needs a Beaks kit, let me know.

As for the original question, are you asking about strut bars? Neuspeed/DC make strut bars, but not sway/stabilizer bars. Given the choice between the two, I'd pick Neuspeed without hesistation. Their stuff is cheaper, and IMO, more functional.

I'm with SW20 MR2. Neuspeed hands down over DC.

Also I thought they did make sway bars?

currently using Neuspeed front upper, the difference is very very obvious, steering response is very good, however, the rear upper bar, I think both DC and neuspeed will be the same due to the design of the bar, personally I don't like bars with pin end, fuctional-wise, pin end doesn't really help on reducing the body flex .

I am using ITR rear sway bar with Beaks kit on my EG, after I installed the kit, won't be able to install any rear lower tie, the kit got in the way. It is 1 of the best suspension mod. I ever did to my car besides my Tein. However if you put on the Beaks kit on EK, you still be able to install rear lower tie bar. I think SW20 will be able to hook u up with the beaks kit, very good price IMO.

paid 100 for the rear ITR sway bar, 100-120 for the beaks kit(can't remember exactly number, long time ago). However the rear sway didn't come with endlink and D-bracket, bushings so spent another 30-40 on them.....
If you need the beaks kit, contact SW20, I think his price is pretty good, I ordered straight from Beaks and the price that SW20 is selling is same as the price you can get from Beaks, the only difference is you don't have to pay for customs.

Beaks has a kit that allows you to still mount a rear lower tie bar on EG/DC2 when using the Beaks/ITR bar. I have some of them in stock.

Actually, I tried both DC and Neuspeed front strut bar, and now Neuspeed one is still on my car, so you know which one is better. DC one, honestly, feels like nothing improved .

DC bars are overpriced and just made to look good. I have never been a fan of bars that have pivot points.
