Sounds interesting, you should post up some pics when you get a chance. I was thinking about using one for a 89-90 civic since the rear setup is almost the same.

[Rendon LX-i]

yeah i take some this weekend man....My car well be painted so i take some....Yeah had to use a jig saw to cut that jack mount out of the way and pound it a lil with a BFH. then all sit....FUnny i tought shit im prolly going to have siezed studs fuck no....Came out like butter...No rust like it was factory lol....Took bout 1/2 hour easy install

[acco-R-d]

is there a noticable increase in handling?

[Busted_Blue]

you had to hack off the jack mount? No thanks.. =P

[bobafett]

yeah no shit lol

[Rendon LX-i]

Lol....yeah had to do or it wouldnt fit.....I just cut it a lil......lol u guys make it sound like its missing up the suspension....For one it doesnt and whos is going to jack up your car from the trunk lol i dont i tryed that almost fucked up my trunk its self Trunk meaning the bottom of it....It looks like a mount shit i dont know what it is.....U dont have to do it just who ever wants to they can like i said i well post pics this weekend.

[3gn86lxi]

Eh.....that is a usless little tab that no one would use to jack a car from anyway. When Josh posts pics you will see, it's a little nothing to sacrafice for a mod that you can get CHEAP.
And we all know that almost anything we get.....we have to mod anyway.

[Rendon LX-i]

Bump pics on cardomain...Down in the bottom of fist page

[SmokingTires]

Ahh, thanks for the info. I just bought one for myself, now added to the SE-i front and rear disc brakes and sway bars I think I'll be in for a little treat :-)

[Driftspec310]

On my 90 I have the Front and Rear Strut Brace as well as the rear Lower Tie Bar. I had no problems with installing anything aside from having to take out the trunk lining and cutting a space to fit the rear brace on both sides. Took like an hour for the total install. Now I am waiting for my master bushing set from ES and then lowering system. I am going with TEIN. Don't flame me, I like TEIN. Anywho, the only thing I will need after is upgraded swaybars and I am done. BTW, the strut braces and tie bar are all TENZO R. Cost me like 150-170 total on Options Auto Salon. Great place for parts. http://www.optionsauto.com/ I recommend this site. Even has some 86-89 parts. Way cool!!!!!!! John

[Justin86]

yea thats why I make custom bars that bolt on cause not everyone can or is willing to chop up their car or parts. though that bar does look pretty clean, good work.

[cody509]

if you say 90-97 then why are there two different options when ordering? 90-93, 94-97?

[Rendon LX-i]

Doesnt matter....When i bought mine i it said 90-93 but also said fits 90-97 so regraudless man.....

[smufguy]

90-93 and 94-97 are nothing but 90-97. those two gens are exactly the same when it comes to engine codes, placements, suspension parts and such. they are pretty much the same chassie execpt for the body style, but everythign else like the ones mentioned above are the same.

Rendon, its a lot easier to do this

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Umm i see you painted your car... looks awesome man, same with the tie bar.

[Rendon LX-i]

Thanks man....yeah I tested it out when last week in a new road and they made well tis very wide and all tar so i go 60 and hit a U shape and my back end was planted and the front end was tight but was sliding i was like WOW i cant turn lol it was fun thou....It helped for me

[L3G10N]

mine have fitted perfectly without any mods... It was a Megan Racing accord 90-97

[3gn86lxi]

Wait, the hatch or sedan?
Sedan

[wprocomp]

so that means the DC tie bar should fit fine ,sweets

[crazykamper]

wait, so if i go and buy a lower tie bar from a 90-97 accord, it will fit right onto my accord?? i have a coupe. so little help......

[L3G10N]

yeah it will fit! coupe, sedan, hatch no matter...

[snoopyloopy]

wait, so if i go and buy a lower tie bar from a 90-97 accord, it will fit right onto my accord?? i have a coupe. so little help......
not complete bolt-on. you have to do some cutting. look at LEG1ON's and Rendon's pix to see where. i just bought one so i'll probably put it on one day when i get the will and desire to do some cutting. and a blade to do it.

[smufguy]

the rod diameter matters. If you get a flat one like the DC sports, u will be able to clear the bottom jack point.

[crazykamper]

can anybody show a pic of the spot i have to cut??? also, which one is good to use??? and how hard exactly are they to install......

[Legend_master]

If you get a thin one like DC sport then you dont have to cut anything. The installation only requires the removal of two bolts then you are done.

[motoracer]

i dont know if you guys have noticed, that center piece serves as a sort of low point for drainage. inside at the bottom of the trunk thres a little rubber grommet designed to let only water pass through, as long as its not clogged.

i found out by hosing my trunk out, after 3 gallons of used motor oil dispersed itself on the way to oil pickup. and my 3g no.2 has a leak at the trunk channel but stays dry.

just one of those lil things that make them different from those lumbering american rustwagons :)

is this exclusive to the sedan? will it work on my hatch?

Every car that I've ever worked on has that. >shrug<

[snoopyloopy]

what did you guys use to do your cutting? and how hard is that metal to cut?

[b8er]

im thinking it would be pretty easy to see what needs to be cut, you dont need to cut anything unless your going to put on one of those lower tie bars and when you go to put it on you should see exactly what needs to be cut cause as far as i can tell it wont go on unles you cut the little hookie thing, so i say just buy one ,try to put it on, if it doesnt go on look at whats stoping it and cut that

[suvsareretarded]

Was that one sentence? Try using a period or something every once in a while. Please.

[b8er]

yup that was one sentence, its the internet, who cars, you know what i mean

[paso100]

I did not have to cut anything putting on the 2 lower tie bars from Justin, but it WAS a tight fit. I just hammered the outer one in place (w/ a piece of wood), no problem. For the upper bar, I wanted to keep the plastic shock tower cover, so I just trimmed what was necessary.

[suvsareretarded]

yup that was one sentence, its the internet, who cars, you know what i mean

Yep. It's the internet. Which means the only way people can judge you or attempt to understand you is through your ability to write. Punctuaction generally makes things less confusing to understand. Please try using it sometime.

PS: cares, not cars.

[b8er]

god i feel like im back in school. i honestly dont care what ppl think of me, its across the internet, it really doesnt matter that much to me so you can keep correcting my grammer or spelling as long as it makes you feel better cause its doing nothing for me, back on track hey, any word from justin to when hes gonna be making some bars again?

[paso100]

Keep bugging him to make more, lol. He originally told me it would take about 2 weeks, which naturally was more like 2 months. But it was definately worth the wait. BTW, hoo kars abowt gramer n speleeng? Eyem hear fer kar infermashen!!!!:bowrofl:

[gfrg88]

just dont listen to that lil n00b hell probably end up getting banned because thats not the best way to start off here at this site and who cares about spelling or grammar its just internet :werd:

ah thanks for all the suport here guys but dont you think this thread should get back on topic

[smufguy]

Next time a technical thread gets offtopic for the retardest reason, I will personally see to it that the one who took it offtopic is watched on every thread.

PS: This is not just to you noob, everyone stay on topic.

[snoopyloopy]

mine have fitted perfectly without any mods... It was a Megan Racing accord 90-97
so i got the megan racing one for the 90-97 accord too, but it is not fitting. at least not very easily. does it matter if you have your car on ramps or not? (because that's where i have mine.) but beyond that, the bar isn't clearing the jack point. it is clearing it better than the round one i got before, but will definitely be a tight fit if i get it to fit at all.

[L3G10N]

the car need to be jacked and yes, it was a tight fit but mine fit without any mods, but as you said, was a tight fit. Worst case, you can shave each extremity of the bar to give you some space to play with and shorter the bolt who get into the bar. This was a point I was thinking to do this summer when i'll receive my other Megan strut bar(i'll need to mods 'em as i did for my Ractive/Vibrant one).

[L3G10N]

i just did the modification. Removed 3mm by side and cuted the bolt too. I'll post pics soon.

[3gn86lxi]

I just took a chunk of the jack point off. I have used it since to raise the car also, didn't affect anything.:)
Enjoy the bar, I noticed a slight difference in how the rear stays planted cornering.

[ghettogeddy]

http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTE1MzU2NTZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpg

is this the same magen bar u guys were using and dose anyone have pics of it on

[L3G10N]

yeah exactly this one!

[ghettogeddy]

do u have any pics and exactly what do i have to modify or cut to make it fit

[smufguy]

do u have any pics and exactly what do i have to modify or cut to make it fit

check the first two pages of this thread. :slap: :)

[ghettogeddy]

well the megan looks just a little wider id like to see one of them on a car

[SQ is the SQUAD]

bump cuz i just got my megan lower tie batr. once i order my suspension tech sway bars ill put them on

[superaccord]

just so everyone know. Atleast on the coupe you have to modify by cutting the jack point. Even if you get the flat bar. I got one and I had to do some cutting.

[gfrg88]

is there even a noticeable difference in handling with this?? ive heard it doesnt really work on accords cause they already have something tiyng(sp) the two struts together :dunno:

[mkymonkey]

i dont feel a difference.....:(

[snoopyloopy]

just so everyone know. Atleast on the coupe you have to modify by cutting the jack point. Even if you get the flat bar. I got one and I had to do some cutting.
have to on the sedan too. i got a megan flat one and it won't fit until i feel like doing some cutting. i haven't felt like cutting yet.

[gfrg88]

i dont feel a difference.....:(

thats the only reason i havent got one, cause i dont think it makes a difference :thumbdn:

[crazykamper]

some people say it stays more planted on the ground, some say they dont feel a difference, which one is it?? i plan on putting it on LXI coupe....

[crazykamper]

bump, so does it make a difference or no???

[mkymonkey]

no

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Legend_master]

no
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I dont understand :huh: . LOL

[crazykamper]

i dont either. lol. anybody else agree or dissagree?? so basically its more of waste money for bling factor?

[3gn86lxi]

i dont either. lol. anybody else agree or dissagree?? so basically its more of waste money for bling factor?
Well, I wouldn't spend alot on one. I got one of the E-bay for $25 or something like that.
And anytime you are connecting suspention parts together.........you are reducing their movement. I can't really say I noticed a huge difference, but I don't think it's a waste of $$$$$
With my car as low as it is, on Koni's and Tokico's it handles like it's on frickin rails anyway, so a little more stiffnes in the rear dosn't hurt.

[crazykamper]

good to know, how much of a drop do you have exactly?

[3gn86lxi]

good to know, how much of a drop do you have exactly?
3 inches in the front.......2.25 in the rear.

[crazykamper]

not a bad drop at all!!! i was lookin for somewhere of a drop around 1.5-2.0

[LiTtLe xOx BitT]

So this bar will fit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rear-Lower-Strut-Tie-Bar-Honda-Accord-90-97-Megan-P_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33591QQitemZ807302377 3QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

[mkymonkey]

yes it will. you might have to beat it into place though.

[LiTtLe xOx BitT]

Looks like I just found my next mod, lol.

[MessyHonda]

Looks like I just found my next mod, lol.

well take some pics when you do it so this thread does not go on forever

[crazykamper]

lol. good idea! lol. i just donnno if i wanna shell out that much $$ just yet for the car, (its still stock. LOL!) so i might do other mods before i do that

[mkymonkey]

shit ill sell you mine! :D fuck it lets make it 25 + ship (it will be cheaper than shipping two items) and you get an intake aaaand a tie bar!

anyway you've got pm

[LiTtLe xOx BitT]

What tie bar do you have? What color? Im looking for the anodized blue to match the cam gear and im going to repaint the valve cover and some other things anidozed blue.

[mkymonkey]

well its a rear lower tie bar. if youre looking for a strut bar...well thats different.
here's a pic. im selling this to crazykamper because he's buying an intake from me. but if he does not want it and you do its 15 plus ship. here's a pic

http://img454.imageshack.us/img454/2049/tiebar4uo.jpg

[LiTtLe xOx BitT]

I know thw differance between a strut bar and tie bar, lol. I was just wondering what color it was, im going to get the megan P anodized blue one.

[mkymonkey]

ok

[crazykamper]

dont be sellin my things to others! lol. jk, but yeah, i for sure will be getting it! hope to hear from my bro soon!

[mkymonkey]

well you kinda havent given me the money yet...soooo. lol

[crazykamper]

lol. good point. he SHOULD be able to meet u sometime today, or any other day that he has a chance too..... let me know when u 2 figure something out!! thanks again!

[crazykamper]

my bro picked up the intake and tie bar from mkymonkey already, sorry everyone. lol

[crazykamper]

wait, i dont get how to install this crap. lol. (stop laughing. lol)

there are 4 bolts, 2 lookin twords you, and 2 lookin down, i do it to t he 2 lookin twords me correct??? how do i go about installing it, does it replace the bar already there, or does it go ontop of that bar???

[snoopyloopy]

you install it on the bolts that are accessible in the rearward direction of the car. and if anyone wants a lower tie bar to try this, i have one that i'll sell. a cheap ebay one, so make offers. here's what it looks like:

[jlros75]

How about $20 Shipped? :naughty:

[snoopyloopy]

sure unless someone thinks of something better.

[crazykamper]

wait, there are really no bolts available. lol. does i just unscrew those bolts (looks like they are bolted to some BIG piece of metal,) and i just put the bar on, and the bolts back????

[snoopyloopy]

yeah, basically. i think that's part of the reason most people say that there really is no benefit to sticking these things on an accord. that part of the suspension is already pretty solid to begin with.

[crazykamper]

lol. nice. so i just wasted like 15$. oh well, w.e. i i will just throw it on anyways if it fits directly with no mods on my car..... oh well. lol.

i was gonna say, y bolt up this extra peace, if there is already something there. lol. oh well. a little more strength in the system wont hurt!

[mkymonkey]

yeah it doesnt have the same effect that it would on a civic. with a civic you can actually kinda sorta feel it after you put it on. with this bar all you really are doing is streghtheing the back end. sorry bud i thought you knew this

[gfrg88]

lol. nice. so i just wasted like 15$. oh well, w.e. i i will just throw it on anyways if it fits directly with no mods on my car..... oh well. lol.

i was gonna say, y bolt up this extra peace, if there is already something there. lol. oh well. a little more strength in the system wont hurt!

well if you dont want it ill take from you. ill trade you an armrest for it or just give you the $15 you paid :deal:

[crazykamper]

what kinda armrest?? lol. what color ect.... pm me.....

[mkymonkey]

i think he has a tan one too dont know though

[crazykamper]

nice!! that would be awesome!! but if not, probably will get it anyways, cause most likely needs upholstery, and ill just paint the bottom black or tan. we shall see.

[gfrg88]

i just have a maroon one left in really good codition, its actually better than the one i have in my car lol. i was going to switch them but im too lazy :lol:

[crazykamper]

what color is the one u got in ur car??? cause i would like a tan one.... i would rather get mkymonkeys if urs aint tan... sorry bout that.

[Vector]

wait, so where does it bolt to??

nm, i just looked closer at the pic, and yea, i dont see how it can improve anything, from that point on the body/chassis of the car they are pretty stiff already.

[crazykamper]

yeah, it looked stiff to me, so screw it, grf, are u gonna get the bar from mkymonkey? cause i can drop it off if u want, cause im gonna get a filter from him anyways.... lemme know.
