neuspeed x-bar?
I got on Nopi's site a few weeks back and ordered a upper and lower front strut bar. I got em finally today and well the lower ends up being a x-bar. On the instructions it says that it's for 01 up RSX and 02 up civic si's. I called Nopi and they assured me that it'd fit. I tried calling Neuspeed but by the time I get off work they're closed. So my question is has anyone else bought it for our cars and does it fit? If no one has I guess I'm just gonna have to jack my car up this weekend and try it regardless. If I don't hear anything and I go ahead and try it I'll post my results.

Rep Power: 395 I searched Nopi and I didn't find anything. They have Neuspeed's front tie bar for sale, but nothing called an "x-bar"? Maybe you mean "cross bar"? Is this just a strut bar? What is it? Can you take a picture of what you have and post it?
I tried searching ClubRSX.com for some information on this product, but no luck. Do you have any links on hand?

Rep Power: 0 Ok it's actually called the crossbar, I just called it the X-bar as an abreviation and also cause it's in that shape. I called neuspeed and they said it's not for the sedans or coupe that due to the placement of our exhaust and cat it won't fit. After looking at it tonight I found out that that's true, so that sucks, but I think I'll get all my cash back since Nopi didn't designate it's just for the si's so we'll see.

Rep Power: 395 How's it look like? Do you have a digital camera? Can you take a picture of it? I have an LX, so I don't have the cat in the same place as an EX. Plus I'll be making a custom exhaust for myself a little later anyway, so it doesn't matter for me. How much did it cost you?

Rep Power: 0 It literally looks like an X except like the legs are cut on two of em so they are shorter. If I can I'll take a pic of it but no garuntees. I paid 135 shipped for it. Not bad if I could use it.

Rep Power: 395 Is that the one for our 7th gens? Looks really easy to make. I'll have to make me one of those when I get my welder. I have to look under my car to see where something like that would go. Looks interesting though. Probably stiffens everything up nicely for high output motors. Probably helps out wheel hop and what not.

Rep Power: 393 naw they're for the rsx.. those look really weak.. i'm still trying to find the first one i saw. i think someone posted a link here... they said they put it on the dyno and the engine wasnt going anywhere, they said it looked as if the car wasnt even running at all(well besides the belts moving and such).

It's a link to that thread on ClubRSX where someone dynoed the car while the engine stayed still, plus the website to that particular product. You'll get to see how it looks on the S2000, and in fact the new Integra (RSX) Type R (I THINK it has it. I might be wrong.) has one that looks similar. It was something I was gonna consider over upper front strut bars but it is not cheap.

Unfortunately, it's not as detailed as the one in my previous thread. It was very, very detailed.
