PITA to install based on what I hear, but in my book that's a good thing.

I went to passwordjdm today to check it out. very nice welds(TIG), supposedly 6061 alum, and very light! I held one up and must've weighed less then 2 lbs. Looks very strong and durable IMO but time will tell.

BTW it has a nice bronze wrinkle finish to it

These are great bars. The bar definately made a difference in handling. I no longer feel like the car is gonna throw me out of position in sharp turns in higher than typical speeds. The install sounds harder than what people have said to be. It would be 10x's easier if you had a friend on the other side to align while you work wonders with your side. Install time, less than 10 minutes. Big differnece in comparison to typical, 2pt strut bars.

Be sure to bolt the firewall side first, prior to bolting down the shock towers because it will be way off. These bars are not legal in scca though. Not sure if that would apply to you.

The people at pswd is great to deal with. I also have the *bling* cooling plate on order to match the bar.

Your badge is on the opposite side. I wonder why they did that. Looks really good though.



Notice I dont have the bolts the firewall because I bolted the towers first.



Overall, great products, and Im sure that any 3pt bar out there would perform the same way, based on similar designs.

No, they are still waiting for it from their fabricator. They have a car down there right now because they are still gathering mesurements. They said it'll be available in 3 weeks or so

I think they have 96-up civics in stock, which is good. I placed the order on Friday. Ill give them a call for the tracking number later.

Thanks, haha I'm leaking oil out of my headgasket. I need to do something about it sooner or later. I was debating on a metal head gasket or just stick with the oem. the internals are all stock right now
