As up top guys, I want to get a rear strut brace for my EK hatchback.
I got a brand new DC2 ITR one(sexy bit of kit), but discovered its too narrow (for sale if any EG/Integra owners are interested....).

So I need an alternative. However, I'm choosy. I like how the ITR one is raised up and leaves some usable boot space underneath - in the 3door hatch, this is important as the boot is tiny anyway.

So, I'd appreciate if you could show a photo of yours on the car, and tell me what brand/model of brace it is.

 

Have you looked into getting a CTR rear bar?

 

I like how the spoon bar looks.

Here is a bad picture and the wrong car, but it kinda raises up:

Yeah, I've heard that the Spoon one might suit me, but really need to get a proper look at one or a good photo of one!

 

I'll try to take photos of my cusco bar later

 

Keep in mind that the higher the bar is above the rear upper shock mounts, the less effective it's going to be. A rear shock tower brace is most effective when the bar is connected directly to the upper shock mounts.

 

Yeah, I know.

But the car isn't getting regular extremely hard use. It already has Koni Yellows, Tein S Techs, DC2 ITR Rear Sway bar, ASR rear subframe brace, EK4 front anti-roll bar and DC2 ITR front strut brace... all of which means its already fairly solid and the handling is already fairly neutral. I just want to avoid stress on the strut tops.

 

 

i have a cusco. i dont have any pictures though.

 

try spoon or skunk2 bar, they raise it up high enough to use with stock panels.
