Need some help.

I bought this bar off someone used on ebay. He had it on a Civic SI. It should fit on my car. But i only get 1 pair of bolts on.

Do i need to bend this? shouldn't it just fit on? I need like 1 cm to get it in the hole.

 

how would you bend it if i need to? its pretty tough to bend.

 

It should fit... try putting the back of each holes in first then squeezing the fronts on, I got mine to work!

 

i dont think that the si and integra are similar dimensions...you can weld it on

 

i think my problem is because struts made for civics will fit non GSR?

am i right?

 

what? that made no sense

you have to pull it in, stretch it alittle

I am 150lb, if I can do it with my hulk strength, you can too

unless of course it's simply not made to fit

 

Mine took a little persuasion to get to fit. You will either have to modify or remove the support (the thing that is holding the hose in the first picture) that the front mounting point is hitting on the driver side, but it should fit.

 

dont just put one side on and then try to get other on after. floot it over the two sides and go down straight and see if it even fits.

 

I would think it should fit, since the Integra and 92-95 Civic share the same subframe pieces.

 

 

its a bit tricky.. I purchased my bar from a person that owned an eg. I had to barely fit the right side of the strut bar over the bolts.. then tug on the other side to slide the bar over and into the left side. you seriously have to muscle it.. i was sweating..

Looks like you snapped one of your oem strut bar mounting points.

yep, which is why i went with neuspeed

 

No amount of stretching will help. I doesn't fit. They have different part #'s.

edit: if its a 92-95 Civic Si then yes it fits. I was assuming you meant 99-00 Civic Si, in which case see above

 

its from a 95 civic si. i will try again tomrorow. but i'm not sure how i'm going to bend it.

 

I've heard of a person jacking his car up to make a strut bar fit...

 

jacking it up makes it easier???

 

no dude like jacking up the car think about it one side being pushed up and some of the weight going to the other side??? some guy did this to put on a strut bar, I think I read this on team integra

 

Neuspeed is German right? German Products on Import Cars .....

 

If the part works then does it really matter? And if it works well, does it really matter? Cars are made with parts from a variety of countries so I don't think one extra foreign part will make a difference. Jacking the car up from the center of the front crossmember will help, it did on mine.

 

yeah they are right. jack up one side of the car. it helps the body flex making it a little easier

how does that make sense? mercedes are imports too

 

i got a 92-95 civic neuspeed baron my del sol after some pulling and hitting downward. it passes the threads but i accidentally knocked one of my camber kits down all i did was push the upper a arm back and all was fine. the only issue i ahve now is that it is right against the brake fluid resevoir. anyone else have this problem? i am using an itr brake booster with 15/16 master. it pertrudes a lot mroe than the stock booster with 13/16" mc. i worry that a hole would be rubbed into it now. is this an issue anyone else had?

also just because it is different part numbers doesnt mean it isnt the same thing. for example. i called h&r cause i recieved the wrong springs fro my del sol (i got the 92-95 civic ex coupe) and part numbers were completely different. they told me it was the same exact springrate and same spring, just labeled different for "inventory management" look at all dc sports bars. same **** for civics to itnegra, different part number.

anything not made in america is import. bmw mercades anythign european is import. funny, if i had money i would get a holden comador and race with american muscle with my "ford", sporting the import image.
