Cusco and Comptech aren't considerations for you?

I have an Eibach bar and like the results. Of course, I don't have a basis of comarison with any other strut bar manufacturer.

I personally think strut bars are a waste for our car, since they hardly provide a sufficient amount of difference for the suspension. As for those 2, I belive I've heard better things about the Neuspeed.

I'll have to agree with you. I've had both the Neuspeed and the Comptech TSB. There was an improvement, but not a whole lot...now my car is stock and I'd rather throw that money into my bike.

Putting a strut bar in the CL-S would only be for show.

All I can recomend is the Neuspeed, since nothing else was out yet when I got mine 3 years ago. And it does come in black. If you take the yellow stickers off it blends in nicly with the engine compartment.

I've often heard that when you add one as opposed to replacing the stock one, they tend to "clunk" together when your hard on your suspension.

Can anyone verify this?

i like the cusco bar. The comptech looks best, but cost too much. I'd go with the neuspeed one.

The Cusco & Comptech bars are pretty, but I feel the Neuspeed is the strongest design.
Being that it’s the cheapest too, that’s the winner for me.

the eibach sucks because you have to remove the stock bar and it doesn't connect to the firewall.


wouldn't touch it w/ a 10' pole.


my choice would be stock bar + cusco or neuspeed.
