Nice Jumper Cables, if you'd ditch the stereo, your battery wouldn't have as many problems.

Looks good! DO you have any other body reinforcement parts?

Could you post a pic from inside the car - of the rear pillar bar, Thanks.

Check my Sig. on where I got them from!!

The price on the rear pillar bar is $145usd.

I can definitely feel the increase in stiffness of the chassis, the bar definitely work. But the would be the rear passengers would have some BIG problem.

I am sorry, that is the only picture I have now.

You obviously have a problem with his stereo, he should take it out right now so he can get your approval.

You obviously have no sense of humor (<-- Sarcasm...) He should ditch the stereo for MY approval. (<-- Once again, sarcasm)

mayfay2,
does the bar obstruct your view when using your rear view mirror? seems like it would be right in the middle when you look back.

I have a similar bar, but better. Solid, one piece design without any hinges.

I can't "feel the increase in stiffness of the chassis", and I race my car.

My mechanical engineering friend also concur that bracing the c pillar at that location (between rear seatbelt bolts) won't do much to increase rigidity. However, it will help DC Integras, moreso than EK Civics.

Go figure.

So now the general question is this... Is it worth getting this rear c-pillar bar??? How much could it possibly help your car if you dont AutoX???

Yeah, same reason why back in the day more racers chose the Civic hatch over the CRX. That huge opening on the CRX/DC allows a lot of flex. Civic EF/EG/EK HB models don't have the same problem.

Exactly, i'm glad someone else sees the obvious difference between the two.

Probably the most retarded post I've read.

Where exactly does the bar bolt to?

Seat belts bolts. I have seen a couple of DIY bars. Might try it myself.

I do not drive anyone around anyways. If I do it's just the passenger. I do not like to have back seat passengers anyways.
