Re: how many body reinforcement bars do you have? (feint_style)
I have 7 altogether (no rollbar, don't want one), my cars stiff, but I definately added some weight with all that hardware. Maybe I have too many too

acura has a lower front control bar? show me a pic =P or comptech maybe?
_______
On the 94 up Integra's, parrallel to the rear cross member, where the rear motor mount sits, theres a bar that stretches across (above the header). On 92-95 civics, the holes are predrilled and tapped, the bar is a perfect fit, uses four mounting bolts, I believe they're 12mm, works very well for stiffening the front end. I know that Benen makes the same bar for about 140 bucks, but the Acura bar does a good job, and only cost me 10 bucks at a body shop

Re: how many body reinforcement bars do you have? (feint_style)
Feintstyle, did you notice a big difference when you added the second bar up front? Or did you do them at the same time? Also, does that lower one scrape alot?

Re: how many body reinforcement bars do you have? (feint_style)
You guys know swaybars aren't reinforcement right? Just commenting since that's what the title says.
Anyway, I have a Skunk2 front upper, and a Comptech rear lower (comptech tiebar/swaybar combo). I might eventually get a rear upper, but probably after I install a rollcage in the car.
It's often hard to quantify exactly what these bars are doing. I put a Spoon front upper bar on my prelude (when I owned it), riding on Tein HA's. I could tell a difference, but couldn't tell it was better. Some time later when I went to sell the car I started selling stuff off. The Spoon bar was the first to go and when I took it off the car actually drove better.

Re: how many body reinforcement bars do you have? (JeffS)
Isnt having alot of bars bad? Like having the car too stiff. Cuz I heard of cars cracking in some places due to it being too stiff. But so far I have upper f/b strut bars. I want to have the car as logically stiff for the street as possible w/o causing problems.

what do you expect from someone who idolizes a wife-beating, ear biting-sissy. sorry to flame but i dont think people that beat their wives dont deserve any type of praise and this guy has made pointless posts all over this forum about his boys and how jdm their cars are.
