Default what OEM honda/acura strut bar for EK

Im looking into getting an OEM strut bar but am unsure what will bolt right up with no mods. Will the civic si bar fit perfect and will a GSR bar? ( i think there the same actually). And if anyone knows, does the SRR rear tie bar come with everything i need, i dont need endlinks right, thats for sway bars? My plan was to get an OEM gsr strut bar, SRR rear tie bar and a Js Racing piller bar for my hatchback, just to upgrade my suspenstion. I have Tokico Illumina R coilovers now and i love them so i want to work on suspension some more.

you'll need to drill holes to mount the GSR/SI front strut tower bar.

Personally, if you really want a rear lower tie bar, there are better options then the SRR one. I would even take a Skunk2 one over the SRR. I have Cusco myself. But all tie bars should come with everything you need.

yes you are wrong the factory strut bars get mounted on the outside of the struts. it's hard to explain and I don't have pic's. try searching for engine bay shots in the apperence forum. you are part right some do connect to the struts (spoon) but not a gsr, si, or type R.

yes, you have to drill holes. the gsr/si oem bar does not mount on top of the struts. The 99-00 may already have the holes drilled, but 96-98 do not.

Technically the SI's don't have holes either, they have studs
