does anyone make a C or B pillar bar for 6th gen 2dr accords? custom, aftermarket, ebay, fit from another car? Ive looked everywhere and searched the archives. Please let me know if youve seen anything.

Don't know if this helps, but it's a start.

totoally different stuff, bro

looks great and all but you don't want to have that for daily.


and about the c pillar bar, it's pretty much useless, there's a big are reinforcement deck at the speaker/headrest.

yeah im not setting up for drift haha just wanna keep the twist down and yes ill admit it, i think theres something badass about pillar bars.... in a rice type of way. So how do i keep the roll down? I really dont want to replace my sway bars. Will a lower rear tie bar and strut tower bar do it?

I heard you can use the ek c-pillar bars but some of them might be too short depending on the brand, etc. But I wouldn't get one because the passengers in the back would hit their heads on it

J's racing c-pillar

Springs and sway bars are the only effective ways to reduce body roll. Strut bars, tie bars, b- and c- bars all help to stiffen the chassis, but the don't affect body roll. Even then, it's arguable how much each piece stiffens up the chassis, depending on the car and type of bar.

Stiffening the chassis does NOT reduce body roll. It reduces body FLEX.

Great 1st post there, buddy.

calm down children. I guess i didnt consider the difference between flex and roll. Im absolutly going to make my next mod a set of eibach proline springs(once my toe issue is fixed.) but ive heard horror stories of people upgrading there sway bars and having their rear end swing out in situations like on/off ramps. And as for people hitting thier heads on the c pillar bar i actully think the head rest would clear it and if not, oh well they shouldnt be back there. So if you could confirm that that bar fits i would greatly appriciate it.

Get the springs first, then fix your toe. If you get an alignment now, you will need to get another one when you put the springs on.

thats the thing, i already got the alignment. OK heres what happended. Car was 100% fine, I balanced and mounted new rims(came with rubber on from the store), a day later the car was set off to the right. I assumed that the alignment was off so i got it done. Mechanic said it aligned perfectly but that it was stil going to be off because ( and i dont know how sure he was about this) the toe was "set back" and couldnt be adjusted. I know now that it can be but im not sure if the toe is the problem.( tire pressure was checked and i have rotated the tires since then, nothing changed.). So what should i do? put the springs on anyway and then figure it out?
