Strut bar question

ok, i know the DC Sport and the Nuspeed ones fit perfectly with an intake system, but im working on a strict budget, i know most of the ebay ones dont bend foward to go around the pipe of the intake. this one looks like it might fit. tell me what you think, it also looks pretty sturdy compared to the other ebay ones.

it sounds like a question you should ask them by messageing. i would save up and get a neuspeed one. reliable and you know it will work.

Then it probably won't fit.

Also look at my neuspeed.

just get black and remove the decal. it looks great. I removed mine, but have no new pics. Just imagine it. looks great!

Well the Neuspeed is one solid piece, and the DC has 2 spots, one on each side, where the bar is bolted together. Now this keeps the strut towers an equal distance apart, but doesnt guarantee they are level or even lined up like the should be. So the Neuspeed technically has all the potential to be the better bar.

Thats the theory part. In all honestly, the performance difference between them is probably ridiculously small.

Rob2005SEcoupe is an unknown quantity at this point
I have a that same bar but purchased ffom a different seller.. it won't work with an AEM style intake but it will with an Injen style one with a "cobra head" elbow to connect it to the throttle body.. There is a noticeable differance in steering performance, and it looks good.
