If you want rigidity, you want triangles, not H's. I also don't like the idea of those clamps either.
The only thing, that I've seen, that I like by Odula is their hood.

And this, too bad I can't use it with my BHR spacer. Looks like it would definitely smooth air flow.

That strut bar setup looks terrible. The "H" part of it over the engine doesn't even add anything to the rigidity of the setup. If you look at it, it looks like it sits in the bay like the engine cover does, doesn't even bolt into the chassis, only to the middle of the strut bar using clamps that would really take a dookie if any actual stress was placed on it

What's up 9K? Are you looking to become the N.A. distributer for them?

Yeah plus it costs twice as much as a lot of nice strut bars.

It may be. I would have to see if it is boxed frame or flat steel. Flat steel would flex up and down.

Welds are really small, might be flat steel.

Nah, just looking at different parts, things that I haven't seen before. But man the JDM stuff is expensive. I thought the MUgen stuff was expensive for my Honda but damn, $1200.00 for a header that gets you 5HP.

Lol you mean you didn't like the Mugen Edition Si that they brought over to the US that had maybe 3000 dollars worth of mods (on a lucky day) but cost almost 30k ... FOR A CIVIC.
