Just wondering if the vibrant strut bars are any good? anyone have an opinion on them?

They aren't the best, but they aren't the worse. I have them and the are pretty good for the price you pay.

do y'all think i should just go with the DC front for now and wait on the rear or just get both from vibrant?

considering that the hardest handling that my neon sees is a 13 mile drive up to idyllwild once in a while...

hmm where you finding this DC at, cuz I originally wanted an SRT4 but heard you had to mod the somehow so I'm like eff that, I got SRT4 rear coming in and ordered the vibrant from MPx today sucked that they stopped making red....damn

I say either wait to get both DC front and rear or get the Vibrants. You won't notice too much of a difference with just the front and no rear. You'll notice a lot when the rear is installed.

No one ever mentions the P-Werks bars lol

p-werks?

wait...nevermind...found it...looks like both bars are tri point and can be had for about $200. looks like this might be my 3rd option...

The rear tri point isn't bad, the front I think is kind of pointless

seeing as they are for the srt, will i have to cut up my sxt hood?

Shouldn't, the P-Werks bar tucks nicely under the cowl and out of the way.

i like it...gotta discuss with the financial planner (spoken: Fiance) to see if i get the vibrants of the P-werks.

lol nice, just waiting for the damn Vibrant front so I can install the rear, I can just basically slice into the rear fabric for the rear strut?

Yup... I did mine like this

I cut a slit in my fabric, pulled out the sound deadensr material, and folded the carpet back over when I finished the install, so you can't see where the mount is.

nice I'll prob. do that, do I need any hardware since the strut didn't come with any if so what size?

the three mounting bolts are holding the strut mounts to your car right now, all you need to do, is remove the top three nuts, put the brace on over the bolts, and the tighten the nuts in place! its recommended that you tighten strut bars, while the car is sitting on the ground, so that everything is tightened in proper driving position.

anywho...

lift the car while your doing the install, so you can pre-torque it, and when you lower the car it'll actually put weight onto the bar... like it's designed.

damn! heh installed w/out lifting I may adjust them later, does it make a load of difference?

it's all personal preference i assume.

the farther you extend it, the tighter the rear will be and vise versa.

putting the bar on with the vehicles weight on the suspension will reduce how tight you can make it. It just reduces the potential.

k got the vibrant up front and the srt4 strut in the rear honestly I dont see any real big difference in cornering and whatnot I suppose not since its DD but hey it looks pretty.
