why does 1 company not make bars for upper, lower, and rear, front? do you just have to mix and match or can you fit 92-95 civic bars? del sol bars fit on crx?

 

because differnent companies have differnent stuff. ppl mix and match becuase some things are better then other. Whow would want a sway bar from DC Sports?

 

word

 

cusco makes a lower front.. i got neuspeed uppers, front and rear, and a random rear lower..

as for swaybars, sticking with stock front, OPM Motorsports rear..

 

add tanabe to the list in the front lower. as a matter of fact the do make the whole system.

What do you guys think of those generic ones on ebay?

 

i got ebay ones and im damn proud of them moslty because they work and i didnt have to pay out the ***. some parts i would say need r&d, but come on really how complex can a strut tower bar be? every other part that touches my car is a proven part but my bars,kyokugen lugs,and misc speed holes

derek

 

awesome...they got some deal where you can get front and rear for like 60 bux...

 

my theory on strut bar (keep in mind its just what i THINK)
most strut bars with adjustments will all work the same (ebay, dc....)
crude drawing _/o==== o\_ the o is where its flexible (its a pivot point), under hard cornering if these arent tightened down well enough they'll give in and flex, under extreme cornering they'll flex anyways, now solid bars (not as in solid and hollow) (cusco, GS-R, neuspeed) but solid welded bars are the way to go, they're all one piece, they might flex but not in the same way as the cheaper bars, if you were to find one that looked like:
_/oo== oo\_ (i think neuspeed rear bars are like this) that would also work out well because it takes away the pivot point.

also with the "solid" type bars, if your car has been in any major accident where these points are offset a bit, these bars most likely wont fit or fit right to be effective..

 

I've also heard that 92-95 civic strut tower bars will fit our cars (88-91) but I haven't tried

 

thanks for everyones input, still wondering if del sol bars fit or other civic models

 

as for ebay strut tower bars.. the are decent, but might as well drive down to pep boys to pick up some apc crap... all the same, but ebay sellers charge an arm and a leg for shipping

 

Someone does make a front lower tie bar for EFs?? Where can I buy it and how much??

 

i have found two manufacturers that make the front lower bar, cucso and tanabe, search on the net for resellers.

Is this it?



Yes I think these are it. Cuz this specifically says front and it looks a lot like the other one...



Which do you think is better. I would think Cusco but I could be wrong.

If someone could confirm this I would love to know because I want to order one ASAP!

 

It's a straight bar, they don't make that type for our cars. I have the cusco one on mine, it's very lightwieght, I love it! I'll get under my car tomorrow and take a pic of it so you can see what it looks like

 

does the front lower even help??? i have sp00m struts and rear lower

 

I ordered one last night. I heard that it makes your steering a lot better.

 

I felt it when changing lanes on the highway and quick transisitions from left to right, it feels more stable and not as scary to do at speed. I'm taking pics right now so you can get an idea of what it looks like.

EDIT:Here's the picture of it:
