DC Sports CSB1318 vs Neuspeed strut bar

I've been looking at getting a strut bar for some time and I am finally ready to bite the bullet. I've narrowed down my selection to the following:

DC Sports CSB1818
and
Neuspeed Strut bar

Which would be the best bar to get? Personally I like the look of the DC Sports but if the Neuspeed is better quality/performance I would go with that instead.

I am also planning in the future to do an K20/K24 engine swap so if one of these would be more compatible for the future project any info would be a great help.

You can't go wrong with either. You can find Neuspeeds for used occasionally.

Re: DC Sports CSB1318 vs Neuspeed strut bar

at that level (both parts described by many as great), just pick the one that matches your tastes better.

Re: DC Sports CSB1318 vs Neuspeed strut bar

You can't go wrong with either bar, they are great. But as for the Neuspeed, I believe that it interferes with some aftermarket intakes. Just something to consider.

We mods on here are all gay lovers, that's why we gave sdaidoji his avatar and sig.
(If it offends you, we aren't actually gay lovers, but more of a second family to each other and it is an inside joke)

Re: DC Sports CSB1318 vs Neuspeed strut bar

no the DC bar interferes with aftermarket intakes because it goes straight across the engine the Neuspeed bar raps around the back of the firewall.

Re: DC Sports CSB1318 vs Neuspeed strut bar

Going toward the firewall is also better for stability. Mounting it to the firewall would make it even better.

Re: DC Sports CSB1318 vs Neuspeed strut bar

Am just unsure how the firewall stiffness is...
some of the good 3 point ones have reinforcements behind the firewall linking to the outer chassis
