So i'm thinking about rolling them again.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-93-Integra-Strut-Bars-Tie-Bar-C-Pillar-5PC-Combo-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5192a1fe60QQitemZ350352440928QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_3825wt_1157

I mean it's just some metal, right? I don't think even the Chinese could screw something like this up... A buddy of mine has a four piece kit on his car and it looks great and hasn't caused him any problems yet. I'm not worried about problems, I just am curious whether or not there will be a difference in performance... I'd like to make a purchase tonight so let me know!

I got a 4pc for 41$ shipped. Fits perfect, does it's job!

Painted c pillar and rear strut purple
front strut n rear tie bar metalic gold

you may notice some blemishes in the "polished" part, but it didn't bother me since I knew I was painting anyway.

I got impulsive and decided wtf, an extra $60 for a definitely better looking set. Plus a 3-year manufacture's warrantee. I think purple will be a nice touch :) then I'll just get the C-Pillar bar separate in a polished color.

as long as the items from china doesn't work in a mechanical manner (which needs better craftmanship), you can buy I guess without any problems :)

:roll:Not everything is about horsepower. If we all wanted to concentrate on nothing but WHP, we'd drive muscle cars. Bettering your car in other ways than it's dyno numbers is essential to having a good all around performing car. Some of us want to go other directions than just strait ahead.

Though I'm hesitant to say yes or no on the eBay strut bars, the idea of adding components to increase the chassis' structural rigidity is a sound one. If 94Mark3 has them and hasn't had the subframe of his car ripped out, or anything else drastic like that happen, try them out and see what happens.

Butt dyno is about as good as butt skid pad.

I it stiffens it up... sure. But then again you could have welded a pipe to do the same for cheaper. It may look okay from afar, but its still a no-name piece of equipment. When people look closely they will be able to tell its not an R&D product, just a copy made up of unknown materials.

Also, purple bars, brown car, gold wheels. Really? Nice color scheme.

Do you realize that my car is metallic silver and my wheels aren't even gold anymore? I'd feel bad for saying this to you if you were in your mid eighties and battling color blindness, but don't start ripping on me about color scheme when you don't live next door to me.

I have purple LCA's and now purple strut bars with purple rims and a purple valve cover so stfubbq

btw check out page 106 on Super Streets July 2010 issue. Burgandy, gold, silver.

And isn't the point of these to improve chassis stability, not make people think it's pretty?

Not if it looks like a hooptie in the process. Besides, do you even plan on taking it to the track? Or is this to enable you to take entrance and exit ramps on the highway better?

Maybe you should update your signature then, because I obviously assume thats what your car looks like, maybe because its attached to your username? If I had a white integra in my avatar, would you assume I had a white integra? Yes? Your car looks brown, and its on gold wheels. Excuse me for not following your build and memorizing everything you have done to your car?
