Here's my experience... I had the DC Sports. When I put it on it felt nice. Nice improvement. Over time it got looser. I noticed that the bolts that hold the three center pieces together were loose. I tightened those up and the bar felt nice again. That was before I had the upgraded front sway bar and the little lower brace off of the 2002+ Civics (mine's a 2001).
Anyway, now I got a Spoon Sports front strut bar (after I got the Progress front sway bar). The front sway bar by itself improved steering response nicely. I can feel a little more steering response at high speeds with the Spoon Sports front strut bar, but not as much as I did at low speeds with the DC Sports. ??? Maybe I "feel" less since I already had a pretty stiff front end with the addition of the front sway bar and that frame stiffening thingie off of the 2002+ Civics. Hmm...

make sure you dont have an AEM intake or the Injen CAI, the bar wont clear them. if you have an AEM intake or the Injen CAI, get neuspeed. thats what i have and it's great.
