I've been thinking about getting a strut bar, only is it even worth the $? Members I've talked to say the impact is minimal, but which brand would be good if I decided to get one?

 

I have the Neuspeed one. I think it's better then the Comptech cause you keep the stock bar & add to it. The CT your remove the stock bar. But I have not used the CT 1 so I can't truly compare.
I did notice a stiffer front end & less front end sway into corners.

The only think I dislike is install is a PITA cause the bar doesn't always fit right due to suspension & bar flex. So installing or taking it off requires you to loosen a few shock mount bolts & jack 1 side of the car up to lesson the stress on the bar to remove or put on.

 

You should really always have to jack up the front end to install a strut bar or really what would it really be doing? Once you take the stress of the upper strut tower then the bar will be easier to install, and that is how it should be.
