Default Fabrication: Custom Three Point Type R Front Strut Bar, & C-Pillar Bar

Made these both this afternoon for SpoonDC2R's ride. Utilized the stock mounting point for the type r strut bar and the pre-threaded holes on the firewall which the carbing setup uses. All 1" square steel, damn stiff! Still some cleanup needed on them but lookin pretty good so far. Rear setup will be done in the next day or so.
Comments welcomed and appreciated.
Pm me if interested as they will be in production shortly.

It's welded solid all around, just haven't grinded down everything to polish it up yet.

Just finished it up about an hour ago and I haven't ridden/driven it since the install, i'm sure Eric(SpoonDC2R) will chime in shortly.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Eric(SpoonDC2R) said that it was a noticable improvement over the stocker.

or you can buy them from us. renoracing is making a prototype rear one for my car. the fitment and quility is as good if not better than the high dollar jdm one. my car just feels stiffer and stronger. we will keep people updated on what the final product will look like.

if you are interested pm myself (i sold you the catch can and rad cap.) or renoracing. i must say, the bar is probably as stiff if not stiffer than the carbing or rigid three-points.

Lol. dont worry I am not the type to bend people over with outrageous markups and labor costs(ask anyone I've sold manifolds to).
The metal itself isn't that much but as for now I don't have the ability to fabricate the direct replacement end pieces so I have to purchase those. And you have to take into account not just the actual labor time, but the tools required and disposed off(welder: wire, gas. Saw: blades. Grinder: discs) Pm me for a price that I think will surprise you.

Do you plan on making these for any other application? I'd like to get a C-pillar and Rear Strut made. I'd odpt for a trunk bar but my friend still needs to use her trunk

Aplication for 98 Civic Coupe BTW

Yes we are planning a whole lineup front and rear. DC integras and DA integras underway! Rear CRX will be the next step! 92+ civics and 94+ integras share the same c-pillar dimension as well as front three point setup is the same, rear strut bar spacing is the same, only the additional mounting points in the rear change from model to model.

I am also quite interested. I would like to know the price as soon as it is availible. Thanks!

P.S. One Question: Would this bar come with the needed hardware? I know it will fit my car, as i have seen other hatches with this 2-point bar installed, but I checked and I do not have those two holes on each of my shock towers. How do I install it?

Hey Guys, We are currently waiting for some of the materials to finish up the front strut bars. We should have several available and ready to ship out next week. They will come with all the hardware and everything needed to install into any 92+ civic or 94+ integra. Some models(DX I believe) don't have the holes drilled all the way through but rather just little dimples that will just need to be drilled out to accomodate the supplied hardware. It's really simple and instructions can be given if needed. 5 minute install with simple tools!
I'll keep you guys up to date! Thanks for the interest!
Rear Four Point X-Brace strut bars are getting the finishing touches and will be ready to ship next week as well!
Jess
