dont bother...i bought a megan for the same reason and the holes arent big enough for the bolt, they have to be drilled out to fit. that was the 1st n last thing ill ever buy from megan...such shitty products

 

is the DC bar different than megan?????

 

yea probably. its just like most ebay crap...u get wut u pay for. im sure the dc actually fits right. dont hold me against that bc i honestly dont know but thats my guess

 

My DC tie bar is made very well for what is 'supposed' to do. It fits veeeerrry tight and it's very sturdy. So much so that it pisses my off just trying to get it on.

So basically the bar is very good quality and does what it should, but the question is whether or not you actually need any bracing in that area....

When I was trying to install my lower tie bar, my father came over, looked at it, and said "What the hell good is that going to do you?" I pondered for awhile, agreed with him, and then quit.

 

I don't use any on this car..

I really think they are a waste of money..

 

i have a dc lower bar on my 5th gen and noticed a little difference such as going on on ramps and taking corners and yes i did buy it for looks but what can i say.
all my friends complement me on my rear bar cuz the bar with my underglow kit looks awsome!!!!!!!


and for install i had my wheel alignm,ent shop do the install but if you wanna do it yourself i don't see how hard it really could be

 

I've got no complaints w/mine. I've noticed less understeer now.

 

its just for looks

Damn, good looking out

 

I just installed a DC one and the install was easy all you do is take the side brackets off the bar and take the bolt out of the lower a arm that connects it to the body and install it through the DC bracket. Do this on both sides then install the bar and tighten everything. Didnt notice much difference mostly for looks

thats true. i have one too.. the holes do have to be drilled out.... but i also have the megan cat back, and header.. and i love them.. the quality is great.. when i installed mine, i noticed the back end was much more stable going around corners.. i think its a great buy for 20 bucks... and its aluminum... dont be pissed that you have to midify it a lil... yiou have to modify 50 percent of stuff you buy for cars anyway... i think it was a great buy..

 

i think megan sucks...no offense

 

its ok.. everyone has their own opinion... lol.

 

i think a dc tie bar ~ 100 bux or watever would be better spent on something else

 

I was curious about the price of Megan (over a year ago), and I bought the three tie bars. They all fit perfectly in my 4th gen... no drilling/bending/welding or anything needed.

They don't make a world's difference, but I can definetely feel a little less understear in some common situations.

Yes they are for show/looks mostly, but they will make slight differences... nothing significant. And besides, who needs a suspension mod for the streets?

If you want performance, hire an engineer to custom build one to your specifications/driving style.

 

who needs suspension mods for the streets? I do. Honestly dude, I can count like 4 times when having an awesome suspension has got me out of hairy situations and maybe saved my life. Evasive manuvers and whatnot.

 

hell nah!!!

 

what year and model is your lude....i have a 93 prelude 4ws system and that's S**T....why you ask....b/c i still didn't put it on and there i don't know how b/c it has a alignment bolt!!! that makes me stuck when i was putting the tie bar on......
