i have own both of them. I like the neuspeed one better, and it will clear intake. Cheap strut bar also work, but i just felt that the neuspeed works better.

Yea, Stick with Neuspeed.

Neuspeed=One Solid piece.
Generic=Three pieces.

Neuspeed Front strut bar will clear any aftermarket intakes.

i know what my quote was but on a product like a tower bar i cant justify the difference. when it comes to headers and stuff like that theres a lot of work that goes into making them but on a towere bar?its a piece of metal!

neuspeed is all one piece with no pivots or joints. this adds considerably to the stiffness of your car as compared to a cheap one or any other with movable ends. Since the goal of a front strut tower bar is to make the front suspension work better by keeping the chasies straighter, this extra stiffness really pays off in reduced understeer and greater steering precision. I have one, its awesome. you wont even believe how much better it will make your car till you try it yourself. after having their front one one my car, I'm waiting for them to come out with a one-piece rear one rather then get a genaric or another brand with pivots.

Neuspeed. Here's a pic of mine. See how it clears the intake and it's one piece?

The eBay front bar does make a difference in handling; I pretty sure because I have one. I have never owned a Neuspeed or other name brand one but I'm sure the fact that it's a one piece design will make it better.
I would conclude that on normal daily driving conditions you'll never put the strut bars to 100% use so either way its better than no strut bar. That is unless you tend to not brake during turns =P

neuspeed is around $100 from most vendors. I dont know what Robear has it for but they are really cool so get it from them anyway.

NAmotorsports had it for sale.... might still be there... I think it was $89 before s&H. Also, Neuspeed wont be making a rear one, I contacted them 2 weeks ago about that.
