no one has the tanabe one from what we can tell. the neuspeed one looks like it is not hollow, but I could be wrong, while the tanabe one has hollowed holes. I would try the tanabe if you dont' want to spend the bills, then tell us how it is!!

well money isnt the issue here, i want the best available ya know, but yea the Tanabe looks to be a bit more weak in structure whereas the Neuspeed looks good and solid inside and out but there arent any weight specs or internal pics so its hard to say, looks like its time to call some places up. Ill keep ya posted

Tanabe does make it for the new civic. They have been advertising it for months now on nopionline. Not many people sell tanabe parts and that is why we haven't see it much. You can call to double check tho

eliminates flexing at the lower control arm chassis pick-up points. The result is improved stability and handling

I have the Neuspeed and I absolutely love it.
Improved stability and handling are noticeable, especially if you drive fast or on bumpy pavement.
