What did you have to do to it yo?

[SteveDX89]

DC Sports doesn't make these strut bars anymore. Don't be surprised or pissed off if your order gets canceled.

Could you elaborate, possibly with a picture?

u may have to tap the brackets over a little bit so the bar fits in. Because at first the bar is a little short.

[danronian]

Awesome, now I can pick up the APC one at advance for $30 since that's acutally all I have money for now.

[shepherd79]

DCsports doesn't make them anymore. they stoped making them over a year ago.

[AccordNut]

well my order went through, i got an email with my receipt so i guess jcwhitney still has one?

[snow_man_20]

wow surprise, surprise. I wonder if there going to ship you the right one. If thay do i just might have to order one. Keep checking our e-mail and keep us posted.

[SteveDX89]

You will be the luckiest bastard ever. I had to buy mine from another member.

Stop bitching Steve, you got a deal anyway.

well, JCwhitney does that. they will take your order and after a while, when they can't get it from a supplier, they will email to you, or ship you a letter that will explain that they couldn't get it.
I would be suprised if they will get it.

[SteveDX89]

Wasn't bitching son. Just simply pointing out that I had to buy it from you instead of a vendor.

thats what it says for my status, so i guess im one lucky mofo? of course i didnt have a choice of color, but any one of them will do nicely

[RobT5580]

I don't want to tell you how many places i called that said they had something in stock but really didnt. I place an order 2 times for the infamouse DC Sports cat back exhaust and called both places before placing my order and then i got a call a few days later with the bad news. I was real mad the 2nd time around because he said he had it for sure yet DC stopped production very early on.

I might be selling my Poshied DC Strut bar if it dont fit with my B20A so keep your eyes in the market place.

[Ace]

yo they got um i called there in stock mine being sent over night I called and they have um mine has already been sent out

so.. the 90 accord with some mods fits? interesting.. does this fit the LX-i too???

[89HondaLxi]

yea thats what type i have. once you get it and dry fit it you will relize whats gotta ne dont to make it fit. it took me about 45 mins.

[shepherd79]

So ACE, did you get your DCsport strut bar?

[nswst8]

They said I have a ship date of March 24th, so this tells me that they don't have them in their direct stock. We'll see.

[Ace]

Yea mine came in 2 day delivery its great sweet find for a neewbe

[snow_man_20]

I'm now on the hunt for one, i'm going to make a few phone calls first thing in the morning. Wish me luck.

[shepherd79]

Yea mine came in 2 day delivery its great sweet find for a neewbe

that is cool. i guess the DC sports didn't stop making them.

[snow_man_20]

Called jcwhitney this morning and said that thay have been on backorder for weeks NONE AVALIBLE :ugh: i don't know if this is true because some people as you can see have bought some. What to do......what to do.....i guess more phone calls.

[SteveDX89]

They are out of production. Ace got lucky. Sometimes these places have leftovers sitting in a warehouse. Once that supply is gone, you can't get them. I had the same problem when I was looking for Konis. A bunch of sites had them listed but when I ordered, they couldn't get them. I called Koni directly and a few speed shops to see if some were sitting somewhere and I didn't have any luck. I was only able to get fronts. Then a couple months later, some dude found all 4 somewhere.

[Ace]

guess I did get lucky wow

[AccordNut]

yeah me and ace must have nabbed the last 2! haha

[Ace]

hahahahahahahaha

[AccordNut]

speaking of which, mine just got delivered today!

Status: DELIVERED
Delivery Date/Time: 2/23/2005 3:23:00 PM

woohooo, now i gotta wait like a month before i can go back home and get it! lol

[Ace]

hey its so worth it i am putting mine on next weekend we parted out the eibach springs out of my old dx so when I put them on and my kyb struts well add the strut
bar but everything lines up fine

[SteveDX89]

Eh, I can't say you'll notice much difference cause you won't. A set of 15's or 16's with lower profile tires will really help me. I even felt more of a difference just by putting 14's on when my suspension was stock.

[Ace]

I dont now I loved um on my dx I loved the ride and the handling was great everyones got a opinion but mine is stock suspension sucks :lol: :lol:

[SteveDX89]

I dont now I loved um on my dx I loved the ride and the handling was great everyones got a opinion but mine is stock suspension sucks :lol: :lol:

I meant the strut bar, not the springs and struts. I totally agree on the sucking of the stock suspension. As soon as I installed my shit, I fell in love with the car again. Handles so sweetly. Need lower pro tires tho. When mine is sitting still, the sidewall flexes so much, I can push the car back and forth.

[Ace]

yea I agree I think the strut bar is more appearance than anything I am getting pirelli low pros on 16 inch konig rims in a month in a 1/2

[danronian]

I can't wait until the snow is gone and I can put back on my 16in rims, damn they handle SOO much better than the 14in stockers. That combined with the strut bar I am going to get and the poly bushings I installed on the front bar and it should be much better than last summer, now I just need a thicker back sway bar and possibly a strut bar if I decide to move my amps.

[snow_man_20]

Well coudn't find a dc strut bar or header. I guess i will have to go with pacesetter for the header and no strut bar till i find a used one.

[snow_man_20]

Ace, will that fit with your carb???

[SteveDX89]

Ace, will that fit with your carb???

Oh shit. I never took notice he's got a DX until now. That will not fit. The carb is in the way. Even if you take the air box off, it doesn't fit.

[snow_man_20]

hummm..... i think i know a buyer if you would like to sell :hs:

[Ace]

have not updated I junked dx and bought a lx-i

[Ace]

Hey I called jc whitney me and accord nut grabbed the last ones stevedx89 was right I guess they only had a few remaining
