Comptech Strut Bar or iPhone????

I'm sitting in line at the Apple store... about to get an iPhone for $499 but in the back of my head I can't dismiss the fact that I could be getting a front strut bar for the TSX instead.

What do you guys think?

Reply to me, I'm so bored...I've been out here since 11am and still have 2 hrs to go before they open the doors.

iphone, front strut bar isn't even going to produce much noticeable difference in daily driving. Do you track your car?

U said u make a lot of phone calls.

A $20 dollar phone can also let you have a lot of phone calls.

and you can save the rest for the bar u want. lol.

i think the point was that if i use the phone a lot its worth having a nice one... i dont track my car so the added suspention isnt worth me not getting the phone.

iPhone I feel is a waste of money! So is the Comptech FSTB, should get the Neuspeed FSTB and with the extra money get some pulleys or something =P Too late now though

Both are wastes. In regards to the IPhone, I'm just not an early adopter. Good luck with all the bugs, but if it makes you happy, then more power to you.

I personally would go with another reasonably priced strut bar.

I'd go with the phone. I have the comptech strut bar and can't notice the difference unless I'm running ffigure 8s. Its a nice looking piece, however, for shows. $499 is a good price for iphone
