Rear Lower Tie Bar... which one to get?
I'm looking at two rear lower tie bars right now, and I'm trying to decide which one to get. I need your opinions, guys.

First one is the OBX Racing GX series. The second one is a no name brand. There's a roughly 17-dollar difference.
The no name one, I don't think the rod/bar is solid, since it looks to be adjustable (length-wise) and that's an indication that there's thread within the rod, which means it's hollow. Am I right??
The OBX one, it has holes in the rod, which would reduce structural integrity, but the rest of the bar is solid.
Which one should I get? Please give me your input/advice/opinion. Thanks!!
P.S. I'll be getting the Cusco Front Lower Tie Bar to go with the Rear one.

Skunk2 makes a lower tie bar for the civic that fits on your car. You may need to add a few washers of you have headers. But i say go for the front one first. I had both and the front made the bigger difference.

I'm gonna get both within the next week or so. Does it really matter which one I get first?? I'm just curious.
On the Nopi site, it says it's specifically made for 98-01 Accord. Which means it'll be a direct fit onto my car.
So... OBX or Skunk2? Skunk 2 will cost double the price of OBX.
