Default 5 point rear strutbar/c-pilliar bar?

what kind of rear bar is this. I have seen many peolple with things like this, and I am interested in getting one. I would just like to kinda know what my options are in terms for a uniformed c-pillar bar and rear strut bar. I really like the look that they give off, as well as the performance side of things

thats a em racing rear zig zag brace. imo that is a ridiculous setup. if u want stiffness might as well get a rollbar. that looks hideous and probably gives you the placebo effect.

but anyways, its made by em racing. i think http://www.inlinefour.com carries em.

That's the most retarded thing I've ever seen. You're paying all that money for something as unimportant as some insignificant chassis bracing, and it doesn't even serve any other purpose - i.e. you can't mount harnesses to it and it won't hold up the roof in a rollover.

If you want a stiff chassis and not just some useless overpriced piece of bling, then get yourself one of these:



It is functional for safety foremost, and my chassis is much stiffer as an added bonus. I guarantee you it has done more for chassis stiffness than those randomly bolted monkey bars with pivoting joints in them . . .

what you need is a strut tower bar, c-pillar zig zag bar, b pillar bar, ricer chrome harness bar, floor bar, straight c pillar bar, and then a couple more strut bars and you can drive around to all the elementary schools and rent out your honda as "Ricer T. Barnum's traveling jungle gym"

but unlike a rollbar, you still have flex & twist, but hey, you still have a functional back seat AND now you look like a complete moron with a set of monkey bars in the back of your car

It just depends on what you're looking for honestly. I would (eventually) like some JDM rear seats in my car so I'm not going to get a roll cage. If I wasn't and I wanted the most stability I could get I would get the roll cage.

OMG thats thing is retarded. JDM backseat isnt a real back seat i would never ride back there if someone had it. Just so you can have JDM part in your car. A welded in roll bar is much better option how often do you guys use your back seat anyways?

PS i hate myself for i am JDM.

If you want function save your money for the roll cage, if you wants looks go for that set up. Do what you want but don't get the roll cage with little thought put into the subject at least the zig zag set up is easily unbolted and sold. It's your decision but you don't need a roll cage for a daily driver.

Why any roll bar is going stiff things up beyond what adding the brace does.

That chrome zig zag thing everywhere doesn't look good, imo i think a real roll cage looks better. but i think the reason why people get all those random bars is because they can easily take it out.

when you're taking a long drive to a meet or something... and you just wanna stop on the side a take a nap... unscrew the bars and there you go! recline. anppy time.

on the other hand, if you have a roll cage... you're gonna sleep straight up. haha

either way, whatever floats your boat.

but in that first picture.. that civic should have a roll cage... not those zig zag bars haha it's a race car.
