But then I came to my senses and realized I had bid on crap...so I'm a deadbeat bidder, but that's what you get for selling **** products...I cannot stress the importance of buying well chosen parts...

Have any links to the Mugen strut bar, just wana see the real thing.

thanks.

Notice the nice TIG welds and no pivot points...what I had talked about before. The only thing that concerns me is it's ability to withstand twisting force...we all know tubular shapes handle more twist than ovals...which is why driveshafts are round. But I'm sure they did their research....

the bar itself is actually heavier than other strut bars I seen, I've lifted one up, but the construction and welding is very very nice

if it's a name brand you're after I guess along with functionality, Neuspeed is probably your best bet

Next to that, I'd get the CF JIC strut bar

I think your info about the coilover care should be placed as a sticky... IMO

Ya, I use Spoon lower arm bars, and man can you tell a difference or what!

Even if you go on the highway with a cheap universal strut header bar, you will feel the difference, not as shaky and all that.
