Will it fit? So I won this "Rear Strut Bar" off ebay and it looks to me like it is more of a front upper strut bar than a rear upper strut bar. My question is will a front fit on the rear? What should I do when this comes in the mail and it doesn't fit? Can I make it fit? haha
Thank you

Rep Power: 369 they're probably just using the same pics cuz they're stupid like that.
you'll most likely get what you pay for.. although even then, fitment may not be great.
I had to bang my generic rear strut bar's bracket so it'll fit better...
most people have to do that too.

Yeah, our rear upper has 2 bolts and the front has 3.
I had the same problem with the generic rear as CapYoda did.
I had to use a drill to try to make the holes larger and bang it with a hammer to get it to align and fit properly. And the rear bolts are a pain to take off. Hope you have some long extensions to reach it.

i bought it and it makes a little bit of difference. Although I had to drill out the holes on the brackets to get it to fit, for $15 it was definitely worth it. I'd get the matching front one, but I have an intake so it won't fit.

Rep Power: 0 i got the ebay front upper, rear upper, and lower tie... got them all used for $50
they made a dfference but not a huge difference, i'm sure higher quality parts would do a much better job but these work fine for me, for now...
my rear upper fit perfectly - straight up bolt on, but i bought it used from civicvtec1ps so he should know if he had any problems trying to fit it...
