The NEUSPEED Upper Front Strut Tie-Bar is a must for all cars from street to all-out competition. The NEUSPEED bar takes the roll and twist out of the sheet-metal frame an inherently weak spot. Unlike hinged, single-bolt designs which flex and pivot, the NEUSPEED bars solid mounting is very rigid, making steering quicker and more responsive to your touch. You will feel the difference in handling! This bar is especially important if you change to larger tires. Our lightweight twin-tube design easily bolts to the strut towers, a strong point on each side of the body, to provide maximum performance with the greatest strength. All NEUSPEED bars are made from heavy-wall, 3/4-inch and 7/8-inch diameter steel tubing (98 Accord, 95-99 Eclipse, Golf IV and Jetta IV use 1 inch tubing) aircraft heliarc welded to 1/4-inch steel mounting plates, and feature a wet-look gloss black powder-coat finish. NEUSPEED now offers polished upper strut tie-bars. These new bars are chrome plated to a mirror finish. NEUSPEED bars install in minutes on most applications by bolting to the factory strut/tower retaining studs or bolts. Some VW applications may require drilling four holes by marking the self-aligned Strut Tie-Bar and installing special aircraft threaded Nutserts with the tool provided. Each Nutsert withstands over 800-lbs pull and provides the greatest strength to tie in the front body panels. NEUSPEED Strut Tie-Bars fit with all standard factory equipment, and all service work is performed in the normal manner. NEUSPEED was the first... and is by far the best strut tie-bar on the market.
