How did the handling improve now?
And where did you buy them from?

Maybe it's in my head but YES the handling is VERY different, a lot less flex [keep in mind this is my only mod, stock springs and struts]

I still gotta install the front upper and rear lower ones...does anyone got a pic of their front upper???


How do u put it in there, just move the clutch reservoir down to that 2nd screw or what?

I have the same strut bar in my 02, I also did the control arms and tie bar from Megan. I actually noticed a big difference when I did those mods together. I also have the Progress full coilovers and sway bar set on the way now I will let you know how they all worked together.

Megan Racing is a replica brand that enables purchasers to buy expensive products at a more affordable price. Keep in mind they are replicas though. They have copied brands such as Cusco, Carbing, Mugen, etc, etc....they copy an popular designed product.

some Megan products arent bad.... I had the same bar on m 02 Civic. I felt it didnt do anything. Upgrading the rear sway bar is better IMO. Also, the tie bar doesnt do much for the 7thgencivic unless you have a 20+mm rear sway bar, and neither does the control arms, the OE ones are thick enough already!

Still doesnt answer my main question... Where can you purchase the rear bar? It seems that no one else out there makes one, or im not looking hard enough. either way, help me out guys, if you dont mind.

01 Civics had larger clutch resevoirs, and if you get a Neuspeed bar, they provide you with a kit where you can mount it in a lower postion.
