In need of rear strut bar
Hey whats up,
What is a really good rear upper strut bar for a 4 door 01 civic. I dont want to buy that type r junk on ebay. I know that neuspeed dosnt make one and I cant find the dc rear online either. If you have any ideas on a really good upper rear strut, please let me know.
Jeff
Also I heard that the rsx rear strut bar from spoon is sopost to fit but im unable to find that one either.

I do have a quick question. On a simple bar that ties the two points together...what makes one better than the other? I mean as long as it isn't made out of flimsy material it should be fine. Just a thought.

The Cusco bar has 1/4" thick endplates, 16mm Hardware and a 1.75"x1/2" oval bar with internal reinforcement.
Its more likely that the tower bolts would shear off before the bar would bend any significant amount.

well im not saying the spoon bar is no good and not worth the $$ cause its worth what i paid and all, but that pic doesnt doo the cusco bar any justice....it conects to that third point that u cant see there the one reason i say id probably have went with it over the spoon bar...i got the spoon bar since i have had spoon products on my crx and hatch i went with what i liked...and trusted so yeh go with what u want
