You have aftermarket Sway bars correct? the aftermarket sway bars are real nice, they are a bit beefier than stock ones. As far as more bars, You can add a rear lower Tie Bar, Neuspeed sells them, and I am sure their are other cheap companys that sell them as well. I could of swore a friend of mine used a 92-95 civic rear tie bar on his crx with no problems.

Also, what kind of upper strut bar do you have? You would be suprised on how much differnt brands actually help out, those cheap ones off ebay sometimes really suck and hardly do a thing. But Neuspeed/sprint bars that are 1 peice stiffin it up ALOT!

I am going to be making a custom front one for mine, that is similar to this bar.

Well, there's always the obvious. If you add a rollcage or rollbar, that stiffens up the car as well. I've got an Autopower 4-pt rollbar, and it did a pretty good job of adding additional stiffness (already had ST sways and Neuspeed front and rear upper tower bars).

I remember seeing bars that ran along the width of the car, right behind the seats. There are plenty of options, but you will start to run into diminishing returns, as well as bruised kidneys , if you do all of 'em.

I have the Cusco also. It helps make the steering a lot easier.

Cusco

JIC
http://jic-magic.com/framebrace/type1.asp

after looking at JIC's strut bars, it seems like they bite Cusco's designs.

why do you want to make the car more stiff?

Is it for a racing application? there's very few legal options, depending on your class. So, adding too many braces might not be very viable.

Is it for a street application? If so, do you really want to be driving around a car that's uber-stiff?

Want a car that handles better? forget all those crazy braces. They don't do much for handling (short of anti-sway bars).

If you just want a harsh ride that is "stiff", get 400lb springs front and rear, get some good shocks and replace your bushings with polyurethane bushings...or if you really wanna go crazy, find some solid metal "bushings" and insert them where the rubber is.

Abaz, do you have any more pics of that brace or better yet, who makes it?
