Do they even make cusco front strut bar for em2? if they have for rsx(Dc5) , might not clear hood. anyways cusco rear upper strut bar is the best. but cost alot. neuspeed doesnt make rear upper strut bar.

Neuspeed doesn't make a rear bar. The best one out is the cusco but it will cost ya. The OBX rear bar is pretty decent. I didn't know cusco made a front bar.

neuspeed is coming out with the rear upper strut bar later this year according to them. Hopefully it will be much cheaper than the cusco.. ok a little cheaper..

The Cusco bar isn't gonna fit. The USDM cars (both the RSX and Civic) have the firewall brackets in a different spot. That and the RSX has an extra mounting spot on the towers for the stock strut bar... the Cusco one bolts there. So its a major project that probably isn't worth it. Just get a neuspeed, fabricate some brackets, weld them on and you can bolt that to the firewall.

I'm looking at going with a Neuspeed front upper, Progress rear lower and an OBX rear upper. Haven't figured out what I want for the front lower, but it'll probably be a Neuspeed X-Brace.

I got spoon front & rear upper strut bar with progress rear and front sways and it handles great. The spoon bar fits perfect, planning to get spoon lower front or x-brace next.

i spent too much money on spoon

if you showed someone else a generic
and a spoon....there will be difficulty distinguishing the two
