Default Front strut tower bar for 5gen accord

I was looking on ebay for some cheap stuff for my 94 accord and noticed there were alot of generic front strut tower bars for sale. Do these bars really do anything? Are they worth the money? Is there any difference between the generic and name brand ones (neuspeed,dc,etc..)?

they work just like name brand ones, only difference would possibly be quality. Personally, I say got with a Neuspeed or knock off type strut tower bar.

Ok....but are they worth buying in the first place? Do they actually help minimize body role?

yeah, absolutely. I put one on my 4th gen civic and it was like driving a slot car, I had tokico blues and h & r race springs too.

there will be a difference in handling with just this and stock suspension. The difference wont be as noticeable as with aftermarket suspension, but thats mostly because the soft nature of stock suspension.

also, generic attaches at 2 points while neuspeed attaches at 4
