I know the RSX GC are 325 - 350 ft lbs in the front and 525 - 500 ft lbs in the rear. The skunk2 are a little stiffer than that - would explain the rough ride - that is what the Koni Yellows are for.

alot of places sell the DC strut bar, but personally i prefer neuspeed.
and any lowering springs/coilovers are stiffer then stock springs

there are alot of websites that sell our dc strut bar. I have it and i love it, mine is chrome and i have a set of coilovers. I got weaponR. i suggest you get teins, it is the full coilover system, which is adjustable springs and adjustable struts/shocks. alittle expensive but worth it, if you dont want to spend that money then get either skunk2 or ground control and make sure you get new struts, i believe koni yellow is the only one out for ours.

I might be the only one who noticed he is talking about the REAR upper strut bar. And I haven't seen them on sale yet anywhere online. Not even sure if they are out yet, call DC.

dont think they're out.

ebay one works okay.

truthfully, we dont really need one. unless u really want to stiff it up some more... the way our shock towers are placed, it isn't like previous gen... where there's a empty space inbetween them... our shock towers have the body chassis in between it

This is true, the body does hold the shock towers together, but the rear upper bar will hold any extra tension in the bar. I cannot see paying 100+ for DC or Neuspeed when you can get the 20.00 one off ebay, they are riggid and will work fine for any time of cornering you will want. I have ebay upper and lower and they are SOLID!..spend the extra 80 on a bag...
