Installed the Neuspeed LOWER front strut tower
Well, since I was at it, I installed the Neuspeed front lower strut tower brace tonight. I got the upper one on this morning. It is nice, easy to install, looks tight. Definately tightened up the front end of my car ... makes the back end loose like a hooker... not that I'd know 
I highly recommend it, but dont try to get it if you have headers. It wont fit. It is a tight squeeze on the stock exhaust system. It kinda touches the pre-muffler (i think that is what it is) right before the catalytic converter. I tested it, and it didn't make any sounds. Oh, and I had to put all my weight on the breaker bar to get the 17mm bolts out to install this baby ...

Well I bought it from Marioman, since he got headers, he couldn't keep them on his car. But you should be able to find it anywhere. I'd personally order it from Carparts.com and use the 20% off coupon from importhookup.com -- this way you can get it for like $150 shipped. Oh, let me get you the part number. It is called the Neuspeed Front Lower Sub-Frame Tie-Bar for the Honda Accord 1998-Up, 4-Cylinder Only. Part #3-45.20.32P
It definately seems worth it, I haven't driven with it a lot, but in combo with the stock upper brace, and neuspeed upper brace, my car handles quite well. i would love to get sways, and the lower tie bar as well. once i put my springs on too, the car is be great, at least that is my hope. I dont know if the comptech sways, or another other brand will fit. I'm gonna talk with a few people, have them look, and see if they fit. the sways tie onto the control arms, i believe, this is underneath the sub-frame.... right below that pre-cat.
