rear stablizer bar (strut bar, tower bar) for lx coupe. suggestions comments anything

i got a sub box in my trunk and there was squeaking so i put dynamat everywhere i could and it still does a little bit. ive decided that im going to put a rear upper strut stabilizer bar to reduce the squeaking by stopping the twisting of the car itself.
what do you guys have or what should i get???
i dont want to spend rediculous money but if i like it i might so please post up w/e sites youve seen them on or where u got urs.
please nothing from ebay and dont try flaming me for not searching cus ive tried b4 and it blows.
rep for whoever finds a good one thanks

You really only have 2 options. Ebay or expensive.
If you don't buy the Ebay junk bar than you're pretty much stuck buying either a Cusco or Spoon bar at well over $100 for either. I'm honestly not sure it does a whole heck of a lot since the shocks bolt into the floorpan of the car. If the car was flexing to the point of squeaking, I'd be worried... I'd look for another cause for the noise.

the squeaking is from the box where its bolted to the floor, the bar would help, do you know where i can find these bars?

well, the Cusco bar is for the RSX but it fits in the Civic as well. I think Cusco or Spoon, will be about $150+. Now if youre just looking to hold things down, just about any bar would do. "Ebay bars" arent all bad. I bought myself a Megan Racing rear strut bar from a ebay vendor and it does its job (compared to the Type R (brand) bar I previously bought). The Type R rear bar and those $3 bars may not be of your liking.... but bars like Megan racing and AC AutoTechnic are good. Megan Racing should go for about $45 shipped and AC AutoTechnic (which is a pretty good bar for the rear IMO) would be I think.... $70 before shipping.
