Tower Strut Bar

[OGstackadoIIa]

Idk about the DA, but I bought the Skunk2 rear strut tower bar and I noticed a nice difference in the entry and rotation of the corners. I do have a front strut tower bar, but that came stock, so idk how much of a difference it makes; but based on the improvement of the rear, I would venture to say it will be a small but noticeable difference.

if you want function, get some sway bars.

ok cool guys. so skunk 2 seems like my best bet? and are there any cheaper ones?

 

[klutchDb7]

If you want cheap, just buy ebay. Real parts cost real money

truth

Don't cheap out on the shocks and springs though... Just pick up some springs or coilovers for $150-$300 and get some adjustable shocks (I had H&R race springs with Tokico Illumina's [white] and it rode pretty good and the adjustable dampening was helpful for when I didn't want a stiff ride])....

If you want real performance look into brands like skunk2, Koni, Eibach, Ground control, H&R, Function Form, Tein etc...

Front and rear upper strut bars don't do much so those can be cheaped on... Sway bars (progressive and suspension techniques are pretty good) made a pretty decent difference. But when you upgrade the rear sway bar a lower tie bar will not fit.

Just get ebay strut/tie bars, they are cheap and do the same job really. The guy earlier was right, if you are looking for something noticible get sway bar upgrades and poly links/bushings for the sway bars. I did strut/tie bars, rear lcas, new struts and H&R springs on mine, and to be honest, its not a huge difference other than because one of my springs was busted. If you want something else that would probably make a nice difference on a car like yours, get new or poly bushings. Bushings are often overlooked, but they take a beating, especially on Wisconsin roads like I drive on.

I just put a cheap front strut bar on my car and I felt a very noticeable difference. It also made the steering tighter.

I've got the SPW front and rear strut bars sitting in the garage right now. Let me know if you want them.

I have some cheap like 10 buck strut bars on my civic I think I felt a diffrence back in the day. I wouldnt buy any strut bar over 20 bucks, but they are still holding up pretty good for being 7 years old and been on the car the whole time.. (hey they were "cool" back in the day)

This one does not fit the models with abs.

Front one's make a difference for sure

 

[DustinXIX]

sorry to threadjack, but wondering, is it possible to make a front upper strut bar work if you have abs?

 

[hgocasca]

Absolutely, you just have to move stuff out of the way, then put it on ans replace everything you removed back to its spot
