I have a friend that needs one. His is bent from some freeway debris and he needs the stock bar to stay legal in D Stock. So if anyone has one they don't need let me know. I know this is more of a "classifieds" post but I thought I would try here first. TIA

 

I was wrong

Yeah I would say just go to the dealership parts dept. and get one. It can't be that much...and OEM fitment/quality is a plus!

 

I don't think they are that much from the dealer

Comptech makes one specifically for the DC-2R. Direct bolt-in, Price $125. Not sure if it is DS legal though.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe someone bought the comptech bar and had the stock one laying around. I'll tell him to check A&H Motors or the dealer. Anything other than stock would not be legal.

 

I have one for sale. find out how much they are from the dealer then make me an offer. email me kkim@hawaiian.net

 

Tanabe makes one for the R. It's attached to the original spot as well as the lower control arm bolts. Basically a four point tie bar. I'll see if I could post some pics...if anyone's interested.

 

I have one for sale email me if intrested.

 

Change out? No
Did I decide, "Hey what the hell lets go through a Spoon Tie bar on the car"? Yes
Did I do it for any other reason than I could? No

 

I got a Comptech one on mine.. but I lost the OEM one. Probably in my storage unit or at my friend's shop. Don't know...

 

.....anything better about the Spoon or Comptech bars?

Just prettier? Or are they beefier, more rigid, etc?

 

comptech seems more rigid. also, it's red.

 

Hey, I like it. But I want to make sure if it's just cosmetic that I'm not fooling myself. Any differences in handling since installing Mike K or Mike @ IPS?

 

How much is the spoon lower rear bar? IM me if you have one for sale

How do you like it Mike...I was thinking of getting the Spoon rear pair.

 

Not sure if it made a difference, because I installed a bunch of other parts at the same time..

ES poly swaybar bushings
ES front LCA bushings
Mugen rear LCA bushings
Mugen spring hat bushings
A'PEXI WS suspension

Afterwards, the car felt great.. but I can't say if the Comptech bar did anything.

I doubt the bar helps.. but I needed just a LITTLE rice on my car.

 

Here are some pics of Tanabe's rear lower tie bar:
