yes, there are strut bars and lower tie bars for both the front and rear. when i asked a local tuner shop owner what they actually do, the dude told me that strut bars help restrict the body from moving and twisting durring hard cornering maneuvers by restricting the movement of the struts from above. the tie bars complete the whole setup by tieing the suspention from the bottom, so that your underbody doesnt twist while your upper is rigid. i think thats the general of it...if anyone else can explain it in more detail that would be cool also.
but i know for sure that neuspeed either has all those components or will have all of them soon. i know for sure they have upper strut, and lower tie bars.

The best ones to get are Neuspeed and DC Sports. Those are the only ones that will fit if you have a cold air intake.

thats the strut bar not tie bar...

i think we also have another bar, its on the front of the car, if you look inside the wheel well, under the tie rod, you'll see a bar running from one side to the other... what bar is that?

thats probably the sway bar.

HEllo,

Can anyone please explain to a newbie what type of bars there are?

I tried searching, but it's always in bits and pieces.

Thanks.

uhm dude....its like 3 posts above! blind much?
there are strut bars (front and rear) - these go on the top of the struts.
there are tie bars (front and rear) - these go on the bottom of the struts ?? well, they tie the suspention together from bellow.
there are sway bars (front and rear) - these, as far as i understand, act like springs so that your car does not roll/sway when you corner and perform hard turning maneuvers.

Does anyone know if Skunk 2 makes them for our cars?

I have the rest of the set in Skunk and I am happy with them, so wanted to keep going with the same brand.

bigdaddy - the strut and tie bars will fit all the civic models (according to the neuspeed catalog).

Neuspeed's rear lower tie bar and probably front wont be out till late July, this is straight from Neuspeed since I emailed them a couple of days ago...

I ordered mine back in April thinking they're out but they're not and I'm waiting for it since then.. (sheesh)

the front lower tie bar seems to be quite expensive though... I duno why. I got the lower rear tie to go along with my 19mm rsx sway bar..

as for the ones that are out now on the net... the only one I can think of is the lower ties from procarparts.com but those are 20 bucks bars that I can bend easily by smacking it against the ground or etc.... you do get what you pay for... I dont think those 20 bucks ones are worth the time and money.

I was just surfing around on Neuspeed's site and there is no info on the products. It even says that the Upper Strut bar is still in Development. Is there any other sites out there with the info on the products?.
