does anyone have this in their coupe? i'm sure a coupe doesnt need one since it has a rear deck. but just wondering....

I haven't seen that set up as of yet, I also don't see why you would do something like that. It serves no purpose what so ever on a coup. Not even sure if it even serves a purpose period.

got one on my R mainly for BLING but is good for connecting harnesses for autoX

I wouldn't connect my harnesses to any pillar bar such as that. If the car had a cage in it then I don't see that being a problem. I would move the harnesses to the factory rear seatbelt locations or to a bracket or eyelette on a cage/rollbar.

BTW that rear pillar bar looks hot on the EG/EX hatches.

i hope you enjoy having your head cut off.

Huh

fowler!

If you use a harness with out a cage, if you roll your car, you won't be able to duck your head. So, you'll be crushed by the roof.

The odds of this happening are extremely low, but it's always nice to be safe.

wait im confused..dosnt that go towards the rear of the car? or does it go behind the front seats?

Kid1320

does this rear pillar bar do anything for the HB's? or is it just a bling factor? (in other words for looks)

-Whitey-

supposedly it stiffens the rear up just a little bit more like addinganother strut bar or a rear strong bar

Supposedly, it stiffens up the rear. Which might promote oversteer. I think it serves the same purpose on a coupe.

As to how effective it is, I have some doubt. But it's got bling, which is why everyone jocks them.

bingo.

Hooch'n

got one for my ITR, I can put it on my hatch and let u guys know. I have the J's C pillar bar: I believe this is what we are talking about. Correct!

EkREV

i have the top fuel pillar bar for my ek and it stiffened up the rear a bit. my friend is running the j's pillar bar on his ek and he said he noticed a difference also.

I dunno about that fancy schmancy carbon fiber bar you posted a pic of, but my milled aluminum bar made a difference in my 92 hatch's handling, and I have a 4pt bolt in rollbar as well. The c-pillar bar made the rear of the car more rigid.. not a huge amount but I was able to feel a difference. I bet in stock seats or shitty tires or stock suspension... you wouldnt even notice the difference though.

Kid1320

yeah but would these results be the same for a coupe (assuming you guys that answered all have HB's)?

do you guys think it will make a difference in a coupe?

EkREV

i don't think it will make much of a difference in a coupe. also, you won't be able to sit passengers in the back because they will hit their head on the bar.

Danger

please do not get this , im 100% sure i will hit it w/ my head .

EkREV

next time when you ride w/ kid1320 make sure to call shotgun.

i just ordered a cusco roll cage...will the bar still fit?

jonas

- i have one on my 97 hatchback.
- no, i did not feel a noticeable difference, maybe i will when autox season starts.
- no, do NOT use this as a harness bar, especially without a roll cage.
- 4 point harness will not kill you if you do not have a cage, you can still slip out of that.

- yes it should still fit with your cusco cage, Supertwinz has a cusco cage in his 99-00 hatchback with Miracle bars that connect to where a rear pillar bar would go.

bronzeJDMhatch

thanks sfor the info. i know supertwinz, his car is dope. u drive the yellow ek w5lug and yellow jdm recaros right? ur car is clean *** hell
