Which Frt Strut Bar is better?? pls help!

Whatup? I am adding some 16" O.Z. RSX style rims on my car and decided that it might be a good idea to add a frt upper strut tower bar to eleviate (cant spell) some the extra added stress on the suspension and chasis. I have already tried the (Canadian) Ractive one and it required moving both the break and clutch fluid reseviors. Since I am trying to stay w/in factory warranty guidelines (as according to my dealership ---> Pretty Relaxed but still ****), I wondering if there is a frt upper strut bar that doesn't require moving either of these reseviores? If such can not be the case, then which strt bar installs the easiest? The Neuspeed and Skunk2 ones look cool in appearence.

OHYAH! Anyone with info on a K20C-R or a K20A-S (RSX-TYPE S) swap into a 2001 Civic DX (Canadian model), please hook me up b/c this swap is pretty huge consideration for me considering that I am going to teach english in Japan (For a year or 2 = BIG MONEY) in 2 years.

PLEASE HELP...SPECIFICCIVIC (Tha RULER OF That 7th GEn Civic Club Manitoba) (AKA POWERED BY RAW STOCK!)

With DC you don't have to move the resevoir........I have Neuspeed and came with the nut to relocate it or you could just loosen the resevoir and tilt it forward for clearance...... As for performance,,,I noticed immediate results after installing and taking it out for a spin.....Getting on the freeway I could take the ramp a lot faster...... Also, if you have an aftermarket intake you have to get the Neuspeed or DC to fit AROUND the intake piping.......

CapYoda has a spectacular aura aboutCapYoda has a spectacular aura about
with the neuspeed you gotta move the clutch resevoir as Tekniq stated...

its actually kinda a hassle to relocate it.. ur best bet is to just loosen the bolt and move the resevoir foward...

but in either case this isn't a big deal.. its easily resversable and I'll be dam* if a dealer complains about moving the clutch resevoir few inches foward.

I'll go with the neuspeed. its cheaper than DC's, and its a complete bar without pivot points.

I also have the neuspeed. Not too much of a hassle to install...good clearance...solid construction...good fitment...and most of all its fairly inexpensive
