I have used Neuspeed front strut bars ... they're great !
I had to get rid of it because it was getting in the way of some things under the hood. However I still have a Neuspeed rear lower tie bar (these dont' really do much I just like the way it looks).
I'm am now using APR for the front and its great !
As for DC they're crap, for such an expensive bar you'd figure that the company would know not to put those cosmetic holes in them because it compromises its ridgidity.

those holes in the DC bars signifigantly reduce its rigidity...in a good bar you want a solid piece that is hollow core (for wieght savings) and shaped in either a box/cylinder shape as these shapes have the strogest properties against later forces (its like standing on a empty pop can, its shape (cylinder) gives it its strength...which is why DC bars while they look nice they are weak and the generic/ractive bars out perform them...if u want a pretty bar get a DC if you want one that is functional get a solid one like type-r nuespeed etc.
