NRG vs. Stillen vs. Richie v2
Which one should I get?
I'm planning on getting the 5/16th spacers, a CF half engine cover, and d-spec shocks. I think the Stillen won't fit after doing a little search, which is ok.
I'm pretty sure the Richie v2 will fit fine but I can't fine anything about the NRG. Can anyone post a link to more info on the NRG bar and where I could possibly buy it? Thanks!!

Upper Strut Bars.........?
To me what works is more important that what sticker is applied to it! The
Richie bar works, I have a 1/2" MD spacer and it fits due to adjustability. It
can be polished/painted or left alone and looks good, but like I said "It works!"
It also works with any shock, the only issue I have is the bolts that it comes
with. I replaced them with grade 8 3/8" X 3" bolts/nuts. Stillen was to slow
coming up with the bar by two years.......

The NRG and Richie strut bars are the exact same (same manufacturer). I would not advice going with the Stillen as it does not provide much room for adjustment.
Go with Richie's. Even though it's the same as the NRG, you'll have Richie here to help you with all your questions. He's a great guy and will stand behind his product.
Here is my Richie v1.0 bar.

thanks guys. I was already leaning towards the Richie v2 bar but now you guys cleared it up saying that the NRG and Richie bar are the exact same.
On the Richie bar, do the ends come painted or did you painted them yourself? I like the red, but I would want to paint mine blue. Did you paint those yourself calvin?

I believe NRG did but Richie allows for more adjustability and he stands behind his product....if it doesnt work out he will replace them or fix it.
Kapvu, Calvins are painted red. They come stock in a greenish color.
