um it might be real, but does it fit? might be worth a shot if it works. see if the guy will give a refund if it doesnt fit. check his feedbacks for other people that bought this same item and see what they said.

Its cheap, thin, weak heim joints, weak brackets far as functional close to none.... just like the ebay strut bars they sell and I am sure people well vouch on that...

it may fit with teh stock motor, but not sure if you were to swap in lets say a b18, when i had my d16a6 i had a front lower bar on teh hatch, but when i got the b18 swapped in i had to take teh front lower bar off since it couldn't clear the motor.

those h braces i believe only work on 92+ civics. someone here said they would work on ef's but you have to re drill two holes.

i had this on my 92 cx with a b18b and it fit/wprked great.

NOTE: i am talking about the H brace, not the front lower bar..

front lower bars from an eg also work on the crx/civic. had one on my crx, no extra drilling or relocating of anything.

I have the sturt bars from them and the quality is kinda crappy. everything looks good but I can move the bracket that hooks on to the strut bar with my hand. I doubt that the hbrace will do anything besides look good under there since the metal is weak

I don't think this is gonna work with a b16, the axle comes right next to the LCA bolt on the driver's side. At least that's with my 90-93 LS intermediate shaft. Had to jam the bolt past the axle cup when I changed my LCA bushings, and looking at the attachment point protrusion on this, it's gonna be close if it fits at all.

well the h brace they picture is for eg/ek/dc chassis. you CAN use the h brace for the eg/ek/dc on the ef but you have to re drill 2 holes through the car - not worth it. if they make one specifically for the ef with ef mounting points it would defintely be worth it.

on my eg with an ls motor it cleared everything. however my collector (2.5") on my b18 was like 1/16" of an inch off it. i had to put some heater hose around my h brace on that spot.

it also worked great from a traction point of view, tightened **** up a lot down there.

Man I wish I could weld, there are all these little things that would help so much. If any one gets to fit on an EF with a B16 post up and let us know how you did it, I'd sure like one of these.
