Default 6th gen rear upper strut bar???

REAR UPPER STRUT BAR ('00 Accord Coupe 4-cyl)


just wondering what companies make them... interested to see whats out there:

low end (like RACTIVE, PILOT, OBX)
mid end (like NEUSPEED)
top end (like DC Sports)

I have a 4th gen and my friend has been bugging me about the 6th gen REAR UPPER strut bar... I guess its a harder of a find?

any help will be apprciated...

The location of the rear strut is the biggest problem, it's right after the seat and way up there.

I dont think the rear struk bar is that important.
Get some ST sway bars and you'll be good

The TL rear strut bar MAY work, however it'll take some experimenting. Also, you can fabricate one yourself with some aluminum/steel tubing and some hardware.

*lower tie bar is mainly for the look, i said those on sale on ebay too. generic/knock off.

"im not even surethey make a rear upper but yeah I have the adjustable rear sway st and its a bad *** sway bar. I had to adjust the settings cause the rear of my car would come out real easily but it was fun"

*what size is your sway bar? I check the ST sway for 6th gen the other day,
I am kind of surprise the CL-S is almost the same size if not larger than the ST swaybar. antisway bars makes the most different in my suspension

I have a set of TL type-S sway bar off the second gen(2002 to be exact)
for 40 buck, so i cant complain.

I have heard that a japanese company makes a rear upper strut tower bar for 6th gens. I've never seen it though, and I'd question it's fitment since the 6th gen is a completely different car outside of north america.

location is the problem. you would most likely have to remove the carpet on the rear deck to have one.
