I just bought a Ractive strut tie bar for my 2002 civic coupe, but it doesnt seem to fit right into the nuts... I called up nopi.com and they said it's suppose to fit. Mine only has two holes in it, does anyone know if this is the right product? or maybe i just dont know how to install it right. Im thinking it suppose to fit into at least two of the bolts and fit into that round ring. Anyone else encountered the same thing and remedied the problem? pLease let me know

ARGH!! Nopi advertised it as Front Upper Strut Bar! That's what Im looking for. Anyone know a good place to just physically go and buy it around southern cali? or a more reliable internet source?

Im at costa mesa. Do u know any performace stores around here? I don't think i would have the equipment to install some of these mods if I were to get them later. And plus itd be nice to get some advice from a performace shop near by.

OMG, i did that same stuff around xmas time. I ordered the ractive strut bar for my 2002 civic and it wont even go around both sturts. i can get it around one and the other it doesn't reach. yea. they totally screwed us on this crap. i'm po'd at nopi.com and i refuse to order anything from then after this.

Seriously!!!! what the hell is wrong with them! Im sooo pissed off, I went to two performance stores around costa mesa and they told me I got screwed over cause it doesnt fit at either the front or the back! DONT EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM NOPI.COM Just such a hastle! Im gonna make them pay for everything!

AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!! both my front and rear didn't work either, if you read on the package they sent you, it fits like crxs integras and 96 - 2000 civics. so they def. screwed anybody that ordered that part.

Well, that sucks because I've purchased stuff from nopi before and I've been pretty happy with them. TThe good thing is that I was thinking of getting that same strut tower bar, cause it wasn't all that expensive. But now after hearing about the drama with these Ractive bars, forget it. This is good sh*t to know. I hadn't found anyone who purchases from Nopi beside me. I think i'll go have to go with the Neuspeed or the DC one now. More money, but worth it to fit right. And a different company.

Good idea, I just got the neuspeed strut bar for the front and the lower rear from tornative.com I live in costa mesa, so it delivered in like 2 days. Also their website is nicely organized with status check and shipping track numbers. I just now received my return FedEx thing from them after 2 weeks, and it'll probably take me another month before they credit back my money.
