Default What low profile upper strut bar options are there?

I'm in the market for a low profile upper strut bar so I can gain another 1/8" or so of clearance for my Seibon hood.

When I searched for low profile upper strut bar it pulled up random post from 2002! it was like going back in time. Seeing post from the first people who bought the very first Zs and their 1000 mile review.

anyways.

Trying to keep it under $200.00 What would you guys get?

Any + or - between the cusco and greddy? Guessing the main difference is price? Anyone know if one is thinner then the other?

+ 1 on intense. I plan on buying it from them. Maybe the intense fairy will make it just magically show out at my door. I have a new address now just in case... =)

Already have the washers it touches to the point where I didn't even notice that it touched until after x many miles when it started to slightly mark the bar.

So what's wrong with greddy? I prefer to not have any Greddy parts on my car just because when I was in Hondas everyone HAD to have greddy so I kinda spite it, but outside of that, whats wrong with them?

The thickness of the strut bar is 5/8, the highest point is at 5" 1/4.
The measurements are from the bar sitting on a table, it was never installed.
