good quality product that doesnt weight too much, is from a highly reputable company, is relatively inexpensive, and does its job of minimizing body roll quite well. Go buy it![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

DC Sport sucks..............get the Neuspeed front upper.
The DC bar is more flashy and ok for shows but the Neuspeed is actually functional.
If you really want good quality improvement Neuspeed is the best. The Neuspeed bar is 1 solid piece.
Just look at how the DC bar is built. It comes in 3 pieces. It's integrity is compromised by this stupid design and I hear that the bolts come loose in it.
DC in general is a crappy company, spend more money to get the better product if you really care about your car.

Although I wouldn't put it as harshly as FlyRiceRacer02, the DC Sports bar is more for looks than function. The neuspeed one will give you better perfomance.
Hands down.

Rep Power: 375 I disagree having both they both seem to function about the same, true the DC bar is a little more flashy but its not gonna function much more differently we dont have enough Hp to really worry about it (they feel the same) i went with the DC cuz it went well with my engine color scheme, plus i didnt like that spidery look of the Neuspeed bar

Rep Power: 0 well what do u guys think of the price im gettin them for....Im getting the front upper and back lower, both dc sports and both polished for 180 shipped. Is that a good deal?
my friend has the DC strut and it looks great but when compared with the neuspeed strut it can't really stand toe to toe, you still feel that roling feeling at like 30mph where in my car you don't feel any "role" in'till 45-50mph. i guess it's up to you? are you going for show or go?

Rep Power: 0 so few people on here are actually engineers and understand why and how a dc bar works as well as a nuespeed bar [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] Anyway, all things being equal, that is a really good proce on those two, I'd jump on it

Rep Power: 0 Well I am planning on getting the Neuspeed bar. From all the reseach I have done and feedback I hear from everyone, the Neuspeed is more liked for performace and the DC Sports bar is liked more for looks over performace. That being said I am not saying that one is better than the other because I dont know that for sure.

Rep Power: 316 THe DC Sports bar doesn't totally suck, it just isn't as sturdy as the neuspeed bar.
The neuspeed bar is ALL ONE PEICE. like FlyRiceRacer02 said "Just look at how the DC bar is built. It comes in 3 pieces. It's integrity is compromised by this stupid design"
The dc sports bar will allow for more movement. this has nothing to do with horsepower, and everything to do with cornering speed.
get the neuspeed. pay about $110 shipped or less, and then speed around the twisties

Rep Power: 0 I was wondering where would be the best place to buy either the neuspeed or dc strut bar. also do you have to jack the car up to bolt them on? or does the weight of the car just sit on them when you unscrew the bolts?

Rep Power: 369 whats being an engineer gotta do with understanding that a solid piece bar will do better in reducing chassis flex than compare to a bar with multiple pivot points?
180 for those two is an okay price I guess. but IMO, the ebay bars are just as good as DC sports. sure it looks ugly but they're the same deal.
DC sports is one of the biggest rip off aftermarket company out there. They're high price and you're paying for the brand. (not that Neuspeed isn't, but so far, neuspeed is still cheaper)
they are sooo reputable eh? everyone here still thinks they're great but thats because most of us dont know any better.
When you have perspective globally, you'll see that not too many people in Japan, or other parts of Asia, have heard the company in DC Sports, or Neuspeed.
In fact, not too many US aftermarket companies are good enough to be mentioned abroad. (K&N is one of the few..)
Now am I saying those Japanese aftermarket companies are better? (well some are) but they're overpriced too.
okay I'm ranting and getting off topic.
in either case I could be wrong about DC sports and their bar design, I mean, they know a lot about suspension right? that must be why all they produce for suspension are strut/tie bars...

Rep Power: 0 -Sure titanium is stronger than the aluminum strut bars used now, but for that price.... 
We aren't going to be pulling high Gs on the skid pad anytime soon, you won't notice a difference between a regular strut bar and the titanium, for sure.
