there's 4 upper front ones

Neuspeed
Cusco
Spoon
Comptech

in order of price, they all do about the same thing, pick one.

acutally the comptech one replaces the factory. the other bars are just an add on and keep the factory strut bar.

mr.alex also makes a bar but it is just a re-branded cusco bar.

I just ordrered a cusco bar and it should be here really soon.

that is correct, however they all function in the same way. AFAIK the effect of the comptech seems to be no different than the stock + aftermarket ones.

Might not be a bad idea to add the Cusco "bottom" brace as well.

I think that's the DYI intake, right?

Haven't seen anything like that in the market.

you dont have to dump the comptech I think you could probably put them both on.

you can't bolt the holes up correctly, maybe you could w/ spacers, the bars might interfere w/ each other as well since the cusco is near the stock one, and the comptech is much bigger.
