This one:



Did it fit easily? Did you notice an improvement? Would you recommend it?

Thanks.

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
it looks like it is, but you should get the OBX one from ebay.

How can I tell which one is OBX? I searched for "obx strut" and it didn't return anything at all.

Is there another way to tell?

Thanks.

CivicHX01 is an unknown quantity at this point
yea... that rear strut was sold to ME from civicvtec1ps... and it does make a difference... and the length is adjustable so your supposed to adjust it to fit.... and i do recommend it... but if you want name brand and higher quality (and higher price), i recommend the cusco dc5 rear upper strut, it fits perfectly according to boilermaker...

it fits okay.

the bracket had to be hammered to fit though... like.. the bracket was bend.. I was sitting there slamming away till I bend the bracket so it'll fit against the shock tower.

its an okay item... theres better bars.. but i dont think, if I started doing this all over again... that I'd spend so much money on strut/tie bars.
