they're selling this set, i know where the strut tower bar goes, but i have no idea where you would put the other 3. anyone know of a picture online or have a picture of it?

 

Junk, it's not worth it, and it wont do anything.

Middle rear strut bar.

Other 2, tie bars. they go on the subframe(s)


Buying this is a WASTE of money!

 

Here some pics links from a quick google search

They are all good to have since they help to stiffen up the chassis and make the handling crisper in turns. I have upper front and rear strut bars and noticed a big difference after installing. That is a decent set for nice price, cant go wrong.

 

From top to bottom

1 Across engine bay

2 Across rear seats(from top of belt to the other side

3 Under the engine

4 From lower control arm to lower control arm in the rear

and thats a bit too expensive for no name ****. u can get different no name stuff for 70$

 

id rather spend 130$ on a nice lip or food

 

think id be better off with this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/93-97-Delsol...ht_3552wt_1327

 

I think you would be better off by quit looking at the cheap crap!!!!!!!!!

 

they're just steel bars...

 

That wont do a single thing.

 

can you link me to what you'd recommend?

Password JDM bars could do as well.

 

one thing to note while looking at those listings on eBay. they are listed as "JDM". there is nothing JDM about them. almost anything on ebay listed as that, and isnt actually oem jdm stuff is going to be garbage. take the 130 and put it into a legit jdm itr rear sway bar.

 

will i need to remove the targa roof rack from the trunk for a rear bar??

 

use the money for gas. something you'll actually get some use out of.

 

There's a lot more to chassis stiffening than "throw more metal at it." Notice how between the mounting points and the bars in ALL of those strut bars, there's a joint? That joint completely defeats the purpose of the strut bars. Strut bars are supposed to prevent chassis flex. That joint lets the whole assembly flex. Genius.jpg

 

Buy a 99-00 si strut tower bar, that thing is stiff and rigid as he!!, you won't have a problem with it at all.

OEM from BKHonda is like 40$

 

Op dont listen to all these strut bar bashers. Go with the first set you where looking at, they are made by Megan Racing which is a good company. I have a ebay front sturt bar and a Skunk2 rear strut bar. Just because the front one is a no namer does not mean is does not work as well as my Skunk2 bar or OEM Type R bars, they all work the same.

 

While we're at it, want to buy a big ole' bottle of snake oil?
It cures what ails ya'

Serious, look up what strut tower bars and the sorts do.

 

this post and your 84mm on stock sleeves post have confirmed my suspicions that you dont know what you're talking about

 

 

OP - what's your goal? Better handling? Or just looking to spend money...

 

Hahaha, seriously.


OP, save your money and buy strut bars that don't have parts that move or are adjustable in them and they should probably be a name brand or else it's more than likely just gonna be made out of cheap metal. The ones you posted I could probably bend them with my hands.

 

They will flex the second any load hits them. A flexing strut bar, is an uneffective strut bar.

 

I was actually going for the "you don't have any coilovers or swaybars so why are you thinking about generic strut bars" angle. But whatever.

 

I laughed....
and agree. $130 is a weeks groceries..... at least you get full of them.
