DC strut bar, solid one piece construction, won't break the bank like the carbing and looks nicer than the 3G

^umm, I can't really tell you that it was too much of a difference, but I could feel that there was less flex in the front going through the apex of corners compared to before.

which one u get depends on what you want out of it. 3G, DC, CARBING will all perform about the same... they are all solid designs w/o pivot points. if it was my car, i'd get CARBING, but i allready have RRE (very limited production of less than 10 pieces) so i'm just gonna keep that.

The CARBING will perform better than the 3G or DC strut bars. The brake master cylinder stopper is a HUGE advantage for the brake system and keeping it from fading during aggressive driving.

I'm not sure, but I do believe the MCS is for both.

They don't make the DC bars anymore, but you can still find them out there.
The only drawback if you are an I4 is that you kinda have to finnegle the oil dipstick out......not bad though,,,,,,you can still get it in and out.

This guy used to sell them for a good price on eBay earlier, but he seems to have run out now, maybe you can message him and see -
