We use Neuspeed-perfect fit on both the CRX and Prelude up front.

Personally, I wouldn't bother blowing a large amount of cash for a strut tower brace. I would look on Ebay personally. They are cheap like $20 or cheaper. I have a neuspeed, had a tenzo r. and one that didn't come with a sticker (generic). They all serve the same purpose. That is unless you want some bling.

Spoooooooon.... Or find a one piece bar if you can. EH/EJ/DC all fit the ED chassis. So you have alot of choices.

I like Neuspeed, because it's all solid, rather than having bolts that can still flex/move/whatever...

I don't know if it really makes a difference being solid or not, but I got the Neuspeed strut bar for a stock airbox plus $25 so not too bad...

What if you took an Ebay strut bar and welded all of it's joints? Wouldn't that make it relatively strong?

I coulda swore that the only other FRONT bars that fit 4th gen civics are from 2nd gen integras...EH/EJ/DC all mount different do they not?

or does this mean I can get one of those ebay mugen knock offs? i just like the design of them

I'm still looking for a black Neuspeed front bar.

I had an $20 OBX front bar, but it broke

Anything without a hinge. Those are awful weakspots. I LOVE my omp brace. Sooooo much better then that crappy tenzoR clone I had before.

I have an OMP one aswell, looks good and is a very stiff bar, but i found the finish pretty weak, and it rusted once it peeled off. Also, took me 45 minutes of fiddling/grinding to get it to fit on my DPFI, still rubs master cylinder and back of intake mani.

You can find the entire set of front rear and upper lower bar for pretty cheap on ebay for the price of a Neuspeed but the Neuspeeds are pretty nice for the money. Just crank down the adj. nuts on the ebay bars and you'll be good.

I would stay away from ebay. Without rigidity they will do nothing but waste space and your money. I switched from an ebay STB to a Skunk2 and noticed a huge difference.

I have found w/ particular brands some fit and most others don't. With the front upper nuespeed it's the 88-91 civic and 90-93 integra...but with skunk2 the 88-00 civic BUT 94-01 integra fit. You just have to double check the part numbers and see the application lists....

Perhaps you got the wrong one. Mine rubs NO-where. I take it off regularly to work on some things. No grinding or whatever required. Installs in a matter of minutes.
I agree on the finish. It's just steel. You have to be careful with it. I cleaned it up, and clearcoated the whole thing. Wich helped alot.

btw,... I have one in the rear too. Mounts to the shock, and not the chassis. Same good quality. A bitch to take off tho.

WHAT?

Where did I get my cold air intake, and how much was it?

I got it for about 40 dollars off a wreck, then I spray painted it because it looked like ****.

Kinda hard to weld aluminum to steel, maybe with a bronze rod... Anyways if you tighten them real good there shouldn't be any play in the joints.
