pics of carbing bars installed !!

okay so about 2 weeks ago i just realized that carbing makes bars for the rsx and ep3. of course i'm gonna think hmmmm do they fit our cars. well i found some pics of members on clubrsx that had them installed. so check it out

here's the rear strut bar


the rear tie bar

and the 6pt subframe bar


a newer pic with many other bars ...


i found the rear tie bar for only 70 bucks so i'm gonna order it later this week when i get my check. also here's the thread i found the pics in full of info on the bars if your curious

dc5 has a different subframe, i doubt it'd bolt up.

rear strut bar has been proven to work

rear tie bar looks too long to work.
edit: rear tie might work. it looked very long in that pic.

well a good majority of tie bars for the rsx works on our car and for 70 bucks i'm gonna take the chance, in a week i will know for sure. and about the subframe it hangs really low i read about 3/4 lower than neuspeed xbrace. so if your car is super slammed then the carbing subframe bar isn't a good choice

Rears will fit, the underbrace may or may not depending on the subframe. I would print out that pic and crawl under your car to see if it looks the same. I know some of the points will match up but maybe not all.

yea i was lookin at that but it hangs really low and ephatch members are complaining about how their scraping their bar over everything plus i'm thinkin that the 2 parts that connect around the cat wont fit. so i'm gonna end up sticking with my x brace. in the next few days i'm gonna order the tie bar and put it on my car and for 70 bucks thats a steal.

that would be insane to have all those bars on our cars plus some thick *** sway bars, you would be planted to the ground.

D3 design also have a 6 point underbrace. It fit RSX and 7thgen. I assume the carbing brace is bolted on the same location, so it should be okay.

good to hear that will fit also, im gonna stick with my xbrace because the carbing bar hangs way too low and i'd be paranoid of catching it on something.
