is a front strut bar really needed for an r18.? IMO the front of our cars is pretty sturdy.

yea thats what i was thinking. if you havent already i would say that better investments would be rear sway, front and rear tie bars, and the h-brace.

Yes, a strut tower brace will work as well as all Si suspension mods, IMO for a LX/EX save your money for HFP sport suspension or better and 17" wheels W/ 225/45-18 tires then the rest of these suspension mods should follow in this order...SI front and rear sway bars...H brace...front & rear tie bars...strut tower brace

I have the Carbing front upper strut bar on my 07 LX. I love it! You cant believe how much better it is now. Ties the front end ofthe Civic together very nicely.
