Default Neuspeed Strut bar Question

Will a Neuspeed 4 point strut bar that was formerly on a 90 accord fit on a 97 accord?

I know the suspension is the same. but are the strut mounts the same?

Bad news. The '94 thru '97 Accords use a three point upper strut mount. Even if it did bolt up, I doubt the bar will be long enough (The car's wider).

Well the neuspeed bar is one that bolts up to the 2 closest bolts on the strut towers. So yes there are 3 bolts on the tops but it only connects to 2.

The Neuspeed tie-bars are a fixed length 4 point bar. And I do believe, like P_Adams said, the chassis dimensions are different between the two Accords in question. It doesn't matter what bolt pattern it uses. If you want to check yourself take measurements from shock center to shock center on both chassis.

Neuspeed lists 2 different bars for the Accords between 90-97. So I would have to say it won't fit.

90-94 4 cyl = 35.20.90P
94-97 4 cyl = 35.20.95P
95-97 6 cyl = N/A

The measurement for the CD5 chassis is 941mm (37.04") now see if you can get the specs for a CB chassis.

Were was that measurement made from? What were the points?
The 2 closest strut bolts? the center of the strut tower openings?

If you've already got the bar in hand, just lay it in position and see if the bolt holes line up.
If not, measuring between the two Shock Strut shafts will give a rough approximation.

As mentioned elsewhere: If all these strut manufacturers list seperate Part Numbers for these different years, I would think it would be telling you something ... they are different (and won't fit)
