the rear bar really doesnt do anything unless youre planning on track use.... it's not attaching to a real weak point in the car as opposed to the RSX rear bar. If you must have 1, dont invest too much $ on it.

i have the rear upper strut ebay aluminum bar. also got 2 12" subs in the back as well. there are time the subs probably bump against it, but honestly, i didnt feel any dramatic changes with this piece.

consider investing into better suspension components rather than a rear upper strut

2 companies that dont really disappoint in terms of quality from ebay would be AC autotechnic and Megan. I had the Megan and it was a pretty good bar. Do not get the "Type R" brand or that $2 bar.... it's a lot cheaper but the above 2 are better quality.

it was a generic brand. Meaning there was no brand on them. If you were asking who i bought them from, i seriously don't remember. If you're serious about a rear upper strut, i would buy CUSCO ro SPOON rear upper struts. They are a bit pricey, but they are nice. I don't know about megan or ac autotechnic, but i'm sure they are way better quality than the no name brand one that i got. It was so crappy that it would bend if i were to put a little force on it.
