strut bars help by reinforcing certain parts of the car, in order to make the handling smoother and more solid. if you are looking for better handling, ( cornering, drifting, etc) that's how to do it. DC is a good, reputable company and have outstanding products; i would definately reccomend after the experiences i have had with their products>

Yes, they are worth it after you've upgraded your springs and struts. I highly recommend the Neuspeed bar, it made a difference on my car.

I only really noticed a difference on hard corners...not daily driving mind you (well...it is kinda...but thats my secret)

I have a spoon front and "ebay special" in the rear (upper and lower). Yeah the ebayers work fine

just got a full set of four off of ebay, I installed the front upper, and the rear upper and lower, but the front lower did not fit. The bolt holes were too small, and even if I could bolt it up, the bar would hang down way underneath the undercarriage. I tried to contact the seller and got a "undeliverable message" in return.

Pay for what you get, I guess...

anyways, I can tell a difference around corners with the bars installed.

if your car is a daily driver...then basically its just for cosmetics, but if you autoX then i'd research into that..

I had the DC Sport Front Upper & Rear Lower in my Si.
The DC Sports bar is definately the best looking, but don't expect it to out perform any other strut bar that has pivot points.
The Neuspeed is probably the best bar out right now. No pivot points.
