It will fit, but it is a tight fit near the brake fluid reservoir. If you want to see some pics/info/buy it, check out www.jdmspecperf.com

Here's mine. Definitly tightens the front end when compared to the Neuspeed brace(less creaking when pulling out of my driveway). And yes, with the ITR mc/booster, I have to remove the bar to get to the reservoir

Damn that is one of the cleanest engine bays I have ever seen.

IS that a pre-92 pr3 head? I ask only because I see the oversized vtec silenoid found in the OBD0 jdm teg's and civ's. JUst being observant....

i have the benen 3 point. it replaced my mugen strut bar and i felt a big difference from the extra mounting point to the firewall. you dont need to drill holes, threded holes are already in your firewall for it. it comes with all the mounting hardware and is like 1/2 the price of the carbling bar. and it mounts to the stock location, not the shock bolts.

EDIT: i nearly forgot, its made for LHD so you dont have remove it to get to your brake mc

Where can you buy the Benen 3 point bar? Is it on "backorder" like the CF products, or is it available right away?

pm 2ktyperhatch on h-t, he runs chapter eleven which is benens distributor, i got it right away for a ridiculous price... the only problem i had was i have tein ra coilovers w/ the pillowball mounts, for some reason tein made the pillowball bolts like 1" taller than stock so i had to file about 1/2" off one of the bolts on either side of the car for the benen bar to fit. that was obviously an extreme circumstance but i just wanted to tell everybody, not a problem, but i had to alter an expensive piece of suspension ya know.
