i bought a polished dc upper front strut bar for 150 and it's being shipped right now. i was reading alot of posts about how they suck and bend. should i not even open the box when it gets here and try to sell it on ebay and get a polished neuspeed one; or should i not go through all that trouble and install it when it gets here? help!! i'm kicking myself in the a$$ right now...

naw dont trip man..from what i hear...it "looks" like its going to flex and bend, but it needs to bend at least a little bit in the engine, or else somethings going to snap. yes, the neuspeeds are thick, strong, etc. but then the dc ones work juss as good, and it will improve handling and stuff. its really up to you if you want to sell it or not. i think it comes down to looks more than it would performance, since both will provide for a more stiffer chasis. juss my .02 cents

dc is crap i hadit and you can just push pn it and it will flex. nuespeed is best for the price i think

Vision Lude · 03-12-2002, 10:54 AM

You should have got the neuspeed from cementups for like around $95 sorry but I think you got screwed or I am just reading this wrong

Good Luck selling the DC

Cusco and Spoon own us all.

But Neuspeed sounds good too

DC Sports for performance is a

.

DC Sports for looks only is

.

Sell it or return it and get a Neuspeed front strut tower bar, and get a DC Sports lower rear tie bar. Those look sweet and they aren't necessary on a 5th generation Prelude under most circumstances.

U paid too much man

Personally since u got it u mine as well keep it IMO b/c u probably will loose at least $40 selling it.

PreludeVTEC01 · 03-12-2002, 08:06 PM

Neuspeed =

2kPreludeSH · 03-12-2002, 08:09 PM

sell it and get Neuspeed or Spoon strut bar

The DC..just looks nice. That is all is't good for..your shows. Get the neuspeed or SPOON. They are the best HANDS DOWN
