whats the difference between those $30 pep boys strut bars and the ones like dc sports or neuspeed? are the pep boys 1's not as strong as the dc sports etc?

 

not very much. some ppl dont like them because they have "pivot points" but in all reality u prolly wont even feel the difference and if ur not into some serious racing it really isnt worth it. alot of ppl buy the DC, Neuspeed, etc because they look all fancy and have the name on it..

 

Like Civicexracer said, the pivot points are the biggest difference. But, they're just there because the companies that make them for the Honda's are made for like the 92-00 Civic struts. The struts are alittle different in size, so they can be adjusted. I have a Front upper and Rear upper in my car that are like that and I know they had to be adjusted to fit perfectly. Granted there is definetly a nicer feeling when taking turns and such over stock. But like it's been said people buy them because of the brand difference and the fact that they're more than likely model specific, hence why you pay the extra money. The ones I did happen to buy were of excellent quality, and very reasonable aswell.
