Well, seeing as this section is dedicated to 1990-2002 Accords, it might help to know what "your car" is.

Don't think ASR makes anything that will fit the CG REAR sub frame. If they do, post up the part #.


Only thing close is the Ultra Racing 4 point rear brace for the CF4/CL1. I am working with a Canadian member over on 6thgenaccord.com. He has plans to buy a set of U/R braces, including the rear 4 point and fender braces. We will soon find out if it fits exactly.


Based on my own research, it looks like it would mount up. I have been unable to verify the rear subframe front mounting points on the CF4/CL1. The rear mounting points look to be the same.







They do make a Front 4 point brace for the CG subframe and it works really good. Makes the front end more planted during cornering. We have verified that it does fit BOTH 4 cylinder and V6 models. The same should go for the rear application, but has yet to be determined.

Check out the pics below. I also have the Cusco tie bar for the Acura TL. The 2nd gen Acura's and 6th Gen Honda's have similarities and can interchange some parts.

The Only thing I've seen that is specifiably made for my car is the Neuspeed Front Lower Tie Bar

I've found a website that sells the stuff your talking about http://www.ultraracing.com.my/Bars.asp?ID=2148

Are you saying these would fit my car?

..I remember the neuspeed. that item and the strut bar only lasted a very short period of time.
The strut bars are more common, I do have one. It was the prefered strut bar due to being a design style of 1 piece - hollow steel.



.....U/R bars are hollow steel. ...but just a decent powder coat, nothing spectacular. But, there shoud be enough pieces to reduce some flex in our chassis. coupes and sedans to a degree...


ok, look in the product menu:
Chose HONDA
Chose CF4/CL1

these 3 for the CF4 (euro model), are a possibility should be confirmed 2012?

Fender Braces
REAR 4 point brace
REAR schock tower/{damper mount} on rear deck.
















they do have a product menu for the Accord, but we just use 1 of those pieces.
I recommend the FRONT 4 point for the 2000 CG Accord. subframes are same, all years, and engine models in the front. Rear should be, but havent confirmed by actually comparing them side by side.






UPPER FRONT STRUT - we don't like the design of the front strut by Ultra Racing , so we use the Neuspeed/ (01-03)Acura TL combo.













LOWER front tie bar -- We use the CUSCO for the 01-03 Acura TL






REAR SWAY:
we dont need the rear sway from U/R,
get a progress 24mm or the 01-03 Acura TL as it has a 20mm OEM size.

Comptech(or CT/E) made a 22mm for the TL, both can fit Accord . Rear subframes are almost identical, but the rear sway area is close enough.
**you can upgrade the endlinks to MOOG, they are thicker.


Just need to confirm those 3 for the japan/euro CF4/CL1 by Ultra Racing and we should have about 5-6 pieces total. And you still have the inside of the car you can stiffen - via 4 point roll bar or better.
They will be confirmed by a fellow member, who keeps in contact with me.
We kinda test this stuff to see if we can use it, since we can interchange the TL parts...we wanna see if we can use the Euro models braces because U/R doesn't make braces for the USA model, all we gotta do is test fit to 100% make sure.





braces for YOUR 2002 ACCCORD in a nutshell my man. been diggin my Accord for 8 years. hobby.
peace

lower tie bars are not needed for 4 gen and up accords....our subframes are way stronger than the flimsy civic integra ones

sorta hard to explain without pictures but the on civics the subframe is basically just tabs and just a tiny bit of metal in between

on our accords the subframe is pretty beefy from the factory

I'm planing on getting Eibach's Sway bars which are 27 mm in the front and 23 in the back which should be enough for me and Eibach is a quality product so I know it should last a while

I have found strut bars for the front I will get

But I'm looking at further stiffening my chassis by what you have talked about the Fender Braces, the Rear 4 point brace, and the Rear shock tower/{damper mount}
now those are for the CF4/CL1 chassis will you let me know when you find out if they fit

A remember a few of the Accord guys used the Eibach set of anti-sways. It's def a solid set up. I use their springs.

I really hope the fender braces work out, only a test fit would tell for sure. those others will get tested also. maybe later, but they should. perhaps only one or so...but, you never know how it woks out unitl.. lol

i'll try to remember all interested parties on all forums.
