Front Upper Strut Bar ????????



OK, I am new to the import scene, so I apologize ahead of time for my ignorance if this seems like a stupid question. I will be picking up a CAI tomorrow and currently have a OBX front upper strut bar in place. I already know that this strut bar will not work with the CAI. Can anyone name the brands that make a strut bar that will work with the CAI. (if possible throw in the links to the product so I know which ones to deal with).

I thought of changing to an Injen SRI as they would seem to work with the OBX Strut bar, but I just gotta have my CAI?

Please help!!!!!

I was aware of these two. I have seen the one from DC Sports and I the one from Neuspeed. Are there any others.

Thanks for your response.

What brand CAI? Injen or AEM?? AEM seems to have that curve that sticks up more and injen seems to be straight. Either way, use the DC strut. It fits and I believe it looks the best.

Thanks to everyone for their posts. It is much appreciated. And thanks to those who posted the pictures (InanimateCarbonRod and RedDragon333). I was curious to see what the two strut bars looked like with a CAI in it.

I am leaning towards the Neuspeed even though the DC Sports bar does look really damn sweet when it is in. However I like the feature that the Neuspeed bars have less moving parts on it (Bolts that need to be tightened).

Thanks again for the pics, I will be using them in my final decision.

Sport Compact Car magazine has a "Project Civic" and they have an AEM CAI with a DC Sports front Strut Bar. Looks good and fits well. Nuespeed is a good company as well but the plain black just doesnt look as sharp as the silver finish, but has less moving parts.
