Does it bolt up to position 1 or 2?

I thought it went where the DC bar goes but if it does it is not long enough, thanks
oh Hawkze, if you want me remove the pic just let me know, your cars dead sexy btw

 

Hawkze has his dc in the same place I have mine.

Where does your skunk 2 seem to fit best?

 

post up a pic of your skunk 2 bar. Does the Skunk2 have adjustable ends? Spherical type? Also, did you order the bar for 5th gen or 4th gen?

 

I didnt try to put it on number one yet because it just kinda clicked that that's where it should go...maybe

I'm just hoping there are some lude owners on tonight who also have this bar

 

Its for a 92-96 prelude

 

Thats a nice bar. Looks much more sturdy than the DC. A tie bar should ALWAYS connect both lower control arms.

 

@ #2...
between the LCAs.

*edit* its not fitting cus its not long enough? hmmm

Position 2 on the LCAs. Try switching the brackets to the opposite sides and it should be longer.

My car appreciates your compliment

 

thats where Im tried but even with those bolts hanging on by one thread on each side its still about a good 1.5in off combined. idk if hopupracing sent me the rong thing or what. I guess Im just going to either mod the brackets or try to find longer bolts because I allready drilled out the mounting brackets because the holes are too small. guess that means that I cant return it Does the lca's really take that much force that I shouldn't be messing with the structural integrity of this piece?

 

Yeah, it sounds like they sent you the wrong bar.

It's not that big of a deal anyway, as it doesn't really do anything.

This man speaks the truth. Look at the giant hunk of metal bolted directly to the "frame rails" of your uni-body that is your rear subframe. Your not adding any stiffness to that by putting in a little aluminum bar, just take what they sent you and hang it with some zip-ties so people can see it as you drive along, because that's all it's good for.

 

I was half tempted to pick one of these up.. but if its not going to do much then im not gonna bother.. always wondered why it was placed ontop of the already solid frame..or even more if it WAS nessesary why the frame was that soft that it would bend so easily to begin with.

What do you mean? It helped me take a full second off of my 60' time

J/K

 

installing the rear tie bar does it mess up the aligment in rear?

 

sorry to bring up an old thread, but does anyone have a picture of the skunk2 bar fitted on a 4/5th gen? as I had the same problem, was just too short

Can't you extend the ends of it by unscrewing them? Looks like it from the picture, that's how most strut/tie bars are.

 

yea but as full extended it still just too short, it is a 92-96 prelude bar but was told by honda-tech that it will still fit 5th gen..

 

Just confirming. A 4th gen skunk2 lower tie bar will not fit a 5th gen. Anyone else with a different experience? If not then, my questions have been answered

 

mine fit! will get picture

 

Really?! Pics please!!

 

just looked at mine. it cant fit inbetween the LCA's. We fitted mine up against the toe arms in position one. im removing mine soon anyways, you cant see it and it does nothing anyway

 

oh okay never mind, I really don't want to mess with the toe arms
