It looks like on the left side of the engine bay you might ahve to re-locate some wiring to install a STB. Is this correct? On my 97 Accord there is a bunch of wires that is located right next to the sturt location and appears as if it would be in the way of a tower bar?

can anyone verify this? Or show some pictures of what has to be done, if anything at all?

 

In my 92 accord I had to move some wiring harnesses that were clipped onto some metal that was right by my passenger front strut tower, they just pop off and go down. Probly about the same thing for your 5th gen.

 

was it hard or does it need to be done carefully?

Im just a bit worried, i dont want to f*ck with my wiring and all and get screwed over all b/c of a damned tower bar

 

just move it like a normal person would.....just dont yank on it and rip a wire out of a connector....if you can imagine how much grime and abuse they see over the course of normal driving, its not a big deal just to move them

 

yeah thats true, just been a little curious

 

its ok man ...what kind are you getting??...if you get one on ebay, get a solid piece...they will acutally stiffen up the car...those 3 peice ones wong

 

im getting a Megan-Racing one

they should sponsor your

 

ugh......no

 

Yeah I got front and rear megan racing cars, made a bigass difference IMO. And the wiring, dont be a whimp, but dont be a brute. Just move the shizzle.

 

where did you get yours from?

I ordered mine from sromagazine.com

 

Ebay, for 70 shipped.

 

thats not bad...

i found mine for $51.25 shipped

 

For just the front bar?

 

my wiring actually stays in teh same place and doesnt get in the way of my generic strut bar.

97 accord lx

 

drucifer

yes just for the front

i might order a read sometime but its doubtful

 

since this is about strut bars.. can sum1 refresh me....

bigger bar in rear = more overstear

small/tight bar in front= less control?

thats really only with sway bars......rear, or front, strut bars are basically to stiffen up the chassis, not to change suspension geometry...

strut bars are a ......lower tie bars are a

 

id have to agree

tie bars are a struts on the other hand

 

hmm im confused struts connect on top of the shocks(strut mount?) under the hood? sway bars are connected under the car connected to?

what does struts do? stiffen up car? less turnning

what do sway bars do???

 

What is the problem with tie bars? I was about to order a set of bars and was gonna look for a 3 piece set, but since you said that I might only look for a 2pc (front and rear strut) set. Tie bars go underneath the car attatched to the frame in some way right?

 

there isnt really anything "wrong" with tie bars, just id rather spend my money on a strut bar than a tie bar

 

yea what does a sway bar bolt to anyway? why would a sway bar affect oversteer/understeer while a tower bar just tightens the whole damn thing up?
