Junk, it's not worth it, and it wont do anything.
Middle rear strut bar.
Other 2, tie bars. they go on the subframe(s)
Buying this is a WASTE of money!

Here some pics links from a quick google search
Lower tie bar http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...QEwAQ&dur=8076
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...QEwAw&dur=8284
Front lower strut bar
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...QEwAA&dur=1485
And rear strut bar
http://www.google.com/imgres?q=Civic...r:13,s:0,i:116
They are all good to have since they help to stiffen up the chassis and make the handling crisper in turns. I have upper front and rear strut bars and noticed a big difference after installing. That is a decent set for nice price, cant go wrong.

Re: set of 4 strut tower bars?
one thing to note while looking at those listings on eBay. they are listed as "JDM". there is nothing JDM about them. almost anything on ebay listed as that, and isnt actually oem jdm stuff is going to be garbage. take the 130 and put it into a legit jdm itr rear sway bar.

Re: set of 4 strut tower bars?
There's a lot more to chassis stiffening than "throw more metal at it." Notice how between the mounting points and the bars in ALL of those strut bars, there's a joint? That joint completely defeats the purpose of the strut bars. Strut bars are supposed to prevent chassis flex. That joint lets the whole assembly flex. Genius.jpg

Re: set of 4 strut tower bars?
Op dont listen to all these strut bar bashers. Go with the first set you where looking at, they are made by Megan Racing which is a good company. I have a ebay front sturt bar and a Skunk2 rear strut bar. Just because the front one is a no namer does not mean is does not work as well as my Skunk2 bar or OEM Type R bars, they all work the same.

Re: set of 4 strut tower bars?
OP, save your money and buy strut bars that don't have parts that move or are adjustable in them and they should probably be a name brand or else it's more than likely just gonna be made out of cheap metal. The ones you posted I could probably bend them with my hands.
