can carbon fiber really be that stong to make strut bars out of? it would seem like they would crack under extreme cornering after a while. carbon fiber kinda reminds me of plastic.

As for front strut bar, there isn't enogh clearance above oil filler cap.
Then, round shape strut bar such as carbon fiber one is impossible.

Check out JCWSPORTCOMPACT.COM , They claim to have the front and rear both in CF. For only $82.95. It's by freedom design I think. Not sure about the quality, but it looks pretty nice, actually. I would have definitely got one of these if I had known sooner. Good luck in your search.

Oh and ARC used to or probably still does make a bad *** titanium front strut bar, it's like $330.00 I think, but definately badass and is comprised of actually a couple of bars. www.rxecret7.com used to list it.

That's rigth ARC makes a bunch of suspension components out of Ti for the FD. I think they are marketed under the I'Feelins name.
