Post a link and I''ll take a look. I wouldn''t expect Megan to be better than Comptech, Progress or the TL-S bar ..... afer all, Megan was named to bite off of Mugen''s reputation.

Mugen is a true JDM company. In referance to the bars that you are looking at, I don''t really like their hollow tube design. I''ve seen it before and it seems flimsy to me. There are just as cheap bars on ebay that use oval shaped billet aluminum. With support bars, there are 2 things to look at. The middle bar has to be stiff and the mounts have to be pretty strong so that they don''t bend. Most of the solid aluminum bars that I mentioned have steel mounting brackets. That is what I''d go with if you want to upgrade on a budget. The better design would be like the Neuspeed bar that I had on my accord where the bar was a significant size and wall thickness and was welded directly to the mounting bracket. Even better would be a double tube design, again with an integral bracket.

I always look on the company''''s website for the part #, then search froogle.com for the company name and the part or kit #.
