Default What is the best strut tower braces?

What (in your opinion or tested fact) is the best strut tower brace out the for a DC2/ Integra (2000). I was interested in getting some and was wondering what is the best. I'm not looking for best value cause price isn't an issue.

Thanks in advance for your insight.

I don't remember the name, but it's the one that has 6 bolts in it for the front upper

2 bolts on each side and then 2 to the back of the engine bay
so it's bolted to three diff places instead of the normal 2

IMO it seems like it would be the best but I don't have any proven documentation or the name lol

I honestly don't think it matters. Get the lightest for the least amount of understeer, and the heaviest for the most, i BELIEVE that's how it should work. <---- That's for the front, the back would be oversteer.

Scott,
Mugen is the basis of the question Kenji is selling Mugen front and rears (sold them but has a rear left) and I wanted to get the rear and was thinking of getting the Mugen front as well as maybe a Mugen valve cover But I like them. LMK what you like and dont like about the mugens?

What I dont like about Mugen?????? ha, is this a trick question? Rear one is good, if your car is tweaked at all the bar wont fit. I bought the rear one about 5 weeks ago and I did notice a difference in handling.
If your thinking about doin suspension stuff then do a Mugen 26mm rear sway bar! or both front and rear. that will make more of a difference than you will beleive. trust me

I bought the Ebay set (front + rear) for $40 shipped and they worked great on my Civic.

Mugen makes a good bar but it is NOT the best in my opinion.
The best in my opinion is the CARBING front strut bar:
