Can u have strut bars for an 89 accord lx-i coupe?

[AccordArizona89]

Is there any possible way to get a strut bar for cheap for an 89 accord lx-i coupe :werd:

You could steal one. But if you don't want to DC has them for around $120 I think. I'm not sure on the price.

$150, but I've heard you can make one with a combination of two other bars and some drilling...

I made one out of a 92 civic strut bar.

looks nice but i'd jus buy one, you dont sound to expirenced and you might end up just messin the project up anyway.

see i don't understand DC all accord stuff says Fuel injection only but its a strut bar... wouldn't it work on a DX anyway?

The stock carb doesn't leave enough room for the bar to fit under the hood. The header is setup for the two oxygen sensors the the FI cars use and doesn't have that coolant heater that the carb header does.

Starter, how much 'convincing' did it take to get the 92 Civic bar to fit?

I say get the DC, its expensive but worth the investment, the front end stays so flat with it... Anyone wanna buy mine, I have a silver one, but now I kind of want a blue one... and I'll sell the DC oil cap to, its brand new and blue... they sell for $60 and I'll let it go for $45... its been under my hood for about two months, and there's not a scratch on it...

Well I had to drill 2 holes and widen 2 holes also I used thinner screws to hold the bracket to the bar when I put it on along with a few other minor ajustments about 45 min of work

It should fit if you took off the air intake but that wouldn't be to good driving around with no filter.

makes sense never realized it had to do with space under the hood....

yeah thats a good idea, would u think a 1990 would fiit on an 89, cuz they got them hella cheap on ebay...:werd:

[Justin86]

I would have to check. My bro has an 90 and I could go and measure the distance to see.

cwra - how much for the sway bar??? PM me

[Justin86]

Ok I checked and they won't fit. The bolt patern for the 90-93 is about 0.25" too big, and they overall length of the sway bar is about 3" too short.
