2 options to choose from ......

ok now my suspension is gonna be worked on. And next i'm gonna order some strut bars and lower arm bars. Well i am deciding between 2 kinds of setups. i can either go with all spoon products, front strut bar with matching lower front and rear arm bars. Or my other option is to go with DC Sports front strut bar and lower rear arm bar and a tanabe sutec tie bar for the front ?? I am kinda leaning on going with all the Spoon because i want some JDM to my ride. ya know ?

JDM isn't all it is cracked up to be. Why do you want all of the same product? What do you mean by lower arm bar? Replacing the control arms?

you should go with neuspeed front strut bar,neuspeed x bar,progress rear sway bar combo..
imo spoon just cost too much, you are paying for brand.

that is what i thought.

I agree with civivtec1ps about the parts. That is what i would get and for a rear strut get the cusco even though boilermaker is the only one with it.

we aren't saying that is it is cheaper quality than spoon, but their parts are overrated. If you want a true front strut bar find one that attaches to the Firewall. I doubt you can. I think Neuspeed makes a great front strut bar. Their X brace braces more than a single front tie bar. The progress bars are practically the biggest out there and are cheaper than most of the others. I know mugen makes a 25mm rear!!! Which is way too much for our cars to take. The cusco bar, from what boilermaker has posted, is the best one out there. The RSXs and Sis really don't need rear strut bars because they are hatches, so not many people are making them.

DC sports makes ok stuff. Their bars are kinda flimsy. They say the holes are there to improve it, but i think they are BS. They are easily bendable and I don't think they put alot of their stuff through road tests before they send it out, but that is jut my feeling.

well i work at a performance shop, so price doesn't really matter to me at all. I've decided on DC Sports front upper strut bar and lower tie bar, Neuspeed X brace, Cusco rear strut bar and Progess Sway bar.
