Cusco vs Comptech

Just wondering if the Comptech titanium strut bar is worth the $210 over the Cusco bar? Will I feel a difference between them?

All strut bar for the CL/TL/V6 Accord perform roughly the same. It comes down to personal preference. Basically with hte upper strut bar, you will feel a little tighter steering response.

peiqinglong I disagree...the Comptech Titanium bar is a heck of a lot stronger than the other ones out. A couple of guys I've talked to switched over to the titanium after a neuspeed bar and could tell a huge difference. And the price isn't that bad anymore either...it's $300 shipped on modernsandp.com...

I can definitely see that there may be some slight improvement over the Neuspeed when switching to the Comptech strut bar due to it's titanium design. There is no arguement about the quality level of the strut bar, but the biggest arguement is price. Is the Comptech Titanium strut bar worth all $300 that Comptech is charging? To some, they may answer yes, to others they may answer no. It's all personal taste IMO. I spent the money for the Comptech Headers as opposed to the OBX or anything else. I even brought Comptech's little engine trinkets such as the battery tie down and billet. I had their springs. So I doubt it can be said that I'm by no means anti-Comptech or anything. While we see that Comptech is highly recommended and used here by the CL/TL and some Accord peeps, it's not a brand very much used by other cars. One obvious reason is that Comptech is really only making their stuff for Acura. But when a company such as Cusco makes stuff that actually fits our car, I wouldn't discount them so quickly. Cusco is a leading suspension maker in Japan. Used by WRC cars and many other race cars. If you wish to see how strong and dependable a Cusco bar is, I'll be more than happy to post some pictures of my Cusco Lower Arm that has numerous of time protected my Comptech down pipe from possible damage due to my car height (3.25 inch drop in the front). But IMHO, I still believe that the Cusco and Comptech strut bars are very similar and there is not much more that you can be really gained from one or the other.

The only thing is that you might have to wait 6 wks to get one.

Mine is almost here, 10/26.
