Hey everyone, just pickin my next upgrade and it's goin to be something pretty small. I'm thinking about either a AEM ram intake, BWR rear strut bar, or a BWR 3-point front strut bar. Which one do ya'll think I should get first. I'm trying to get all the suspension that i can; tuning wise and things that also can't be tuned. Any suggestion could help but those are sort of the three i'm thinking about at the moment

If suspension is your current priority: front strut bar.

I gotcha, I mean I have a 22mm OEM type R sway bar and a ASR subframe brace and a few other suspension type parts. I was also going to ask if I should get a regular front strut bar or the 3 point? The 3 point installs into the fire wall right?...does it drill into it or, what? I have no idea^-^

I would imagine that the 3 point would be better becuz there are more contact points but as far as how it installs into the firewall idk becuz I never had one before.

yeah that's what I was thinking... I'm trying to grow into a suspension guru kind of guy so i'm trying to rack up on knowledge haha. But yeah that's why I was going to go with the BWR 3 point front strut bar and THEN the BWR rear strut. If anyone knows how the 3 point installs, feel free to comment xD

Suspension is a great idea!

I just recently installed some Blox rear LCA's and now my camber is off. It's actuall less cambered in the front ... This confuses me because the idea of the lower control arms was to keep more of the tires to the ground... Can I adjust the camber somehow with the stock components or do I need adjustables? I have tons of question as I am new to this forum... However have been a Honda Acura lover for 16 years....I have lowered this on eibach with a nice 2 inch plus drop. With new k2 struts, and new bushings. Plus intake and upgraded 8 mm wires... So i still have lots of work to do with this car with just at 100k... And ideas about the camber.. Just put it on brand new feet... Potenza and rims boTh... I'm worried that this camber will ruin my rubber... What do you think..???:(

The rear strut bar will do more to stiffen the chassis than the front. Those of you who have both, take one off at a time and feel the difference. In fact, I took my 3 point Password JDM bar off and put it on my GSR that sits under a cover all year.....I hardly notice missing it on my DD. If I take the rear off......erratic handling here we come.

@garret2 post your own thread bro don't thread jack , but to answer your question you'll need a camber kit to allow adjusting to you neg or pos camber .

@op , I'd say front 3pt bar then the rear .

@Samuri_Blue didn't see your comment -_- BUT! I just ordered a Blackworks (BWR) 3-point front strut bar. Hopefully coming in quite soon. Yet, I looked at my engine bay (which is perty cluttered at the moment) and I can't seem to see how it installs. Anyone know how it installs? Like into the fire wall area and such? Thanks if you can! :D

Well...Blackworks is out of the 3 point fronts...I have already ordered it so Justin and me are working on maybe getting the Carbing or the Password JDM 3 point front. Hoping for the best!

It attached to the top of each strut mount and the only 3 point bar I've seen had self tappers (came with kit) that went to firewall. I don't remember there being any pre-drilled holes. IMO there isn't much to change between strut bars and brands. Hope it works out for you.
Also don't get frustrated putting it on. I was when I first put a 3 point on. It takes some maneuvering.
