Yeah, the rear wont even be close.

of course not

Like they said it wont fit in the rear. But if you can get it cheap, just have new bars cut.

It depends on where the bars go. Most bolt in cages don't extend into the trunk and that's where the coupe and hatch are different. Look at the mount points, my guess is it'll fit just fine. You probably have 2 pads behind the seats and another 2 pads that go to the wheel well or strut towers.

Autopower lists one roll bar for 96-00 civics.

your aboslutely right.. i have an autopower bar and sold it to someone with a hatch and it fit fine (i have a coupe)

i tried it in my hatch. I borrowed my friends autopower 4 point from his coupe and tried to put it in my hatch. And it wont fit. The down tubes that come off the main hoop come off at a different angle so they dont meet up with the wheel wells. So you have no where to mount the down tubes.

Yeah, I guess like MasterKwan said....it depends on the brand. But I can safely say for the "most part" they are not interchangable.

MasterKwan

If one is an EK/EJ and the other an EG then that makes sense. In this case it's clearly two EK/EJ's. EG has a shorter wheelbase than an EK.

dang, got to find another roll cage now, thanks guys!

i know for a FACT that a 96-00 coupe roll bar will fit a 96-00 hatch.... autopower that is...

OK now some of you are saying it will fit and some are saying it wont...

oc_civic

ive had two cages... my first one was sold to a guy with a hatch.. he installed it with no problem.. and it came out of my coupe.. this was an autopower 4 point bar..

MasterKwan

Well, I have a cage, OC has a cage. Common sense and a little observation will show you that a Coupe and Hatch EK/EJ chassis is identical back to the trunk. The people who say it won't work haven't explained what's different between the two cars. 4 PT's don't even go past the rear shock towers. Even the wheelbase is the same between an EK/EJ coupe and hatch.

Why ask us idiots? Call Autopower and ask them.
