I have a Cusco type OS front strut bar and I don't like the way it pushes down on the brake fluid reservoir, are their any out there that don't have this problem?

I like the TRD one but I don't want to spend that kind of money unless it's gonna solve my problem!

Any US ST guys out there have any input on this?

Yes I did a search but I couldn't tell from the pics....

I'm gunna partially highjack this thread, what are the differences between the 2point and 3point strutbars? Does a 3point actually do that much better than a 2point?

Its all good!

I would think so, but I don't have any personal experience... (Yet!)

I have also considered this upgrade for my civic as well but ONLY if someone can somehow prove to me how much better it is.

It's a yes and no answer.
With a 2point you take the twisting of the struts into the bar, with a 3point you take the twisting in the bar and put it to the car.
Will you notice the diff. no, its like poly bushings they help just not in a noticeable diff.

I am an avid auto-x competitor and a rookie rallycross competitor, if the 3point prevents me from bending a 2point I will probably switch to the 3point, smile.gif thanks for the info, I will most certainly be considering this change to both my civic and celica.
