i found it on ebay, it says its for our cars, but i looked on arospeeds site, and they list nothing. any clue??

[bobafett]

at 45 shipped, just give it a shot! :) its a DC bar clone, so now people can get 'dc' bars lol. that one would look nice as a flat black bar!

[3rdgenhatchDX]

They also have arospeed springs w/ 2.25" drop, for $60 shipped are these good?

[2drSE-i]

yea maybe i shud be a trend setter for once

maybe i shud ask for it for christmas

[thegreatdane]

I emailed the seller about it earlier today. Will let you know if they are made specifically for the 3g when they get back to me. Otherwise you could always just use the 90-93 one and modify it..

[Cheeseburger]

it would be cool if they started to make more parts for our cars...

[2drSE-i]

[charlesb2003]

[2drSE-i]

edit

glad you did too, get it on there quick :D

[mkymonkey]

damn, according to ebay, they're out of stock. well it says 0 available. well hopefully they do fit and are of good quality. cuz if they are, ill be buying one too. unless justin gets his stuff going. hehehe. anyway ill be waiting for a review from you two!

[thegreatdane]

They emailed me back and the strut bar is NOT for our 3g Accords...


































ha, just kidding :D They are the right ones!

[Cheeseburger]

maybe Arospeed can make other parts for our cars...someone email them back and ask them if they can make other parts for our cars... i would do it but im lazy....

[2drSE-i]

well i didnt buy the other one, but there was two available when i looked. charlie boy u better let us know :D

chicken....lol =P

[gfrg88]

they have a couple more in stock http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-89-HONDA-ACCORD-AROSPEED-FRONT-UPPER-STRUT-TOWER-BAR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33591QQitemZ8022668 820

[2drSE-i]

they are probably only listing a few at a time, so it doesnt seem like they are making a huge amount of profit (which they are) for the average ebayer its like this


wow.....they have 96 left, and that price isnt that great

but

holy crap only 5 left!? i better scoop it up quick before they selll them all!!!

[AccordRacing21]

Thanx for pointing it out guys, I started looking for one today and already found one so that's awesome. Hope they fit and are good quality.

[2drSE-i]

yay i AM a trendsetter

glad to be of assistance :D

[Chuoiz]

will these fit my carbed 3gee?

[gfrg88]

this will not fit a carb accord, maybe with a little modification to the airbox they might fit :dunno:

im going to try and get one of these next week, maybe it will be a christmas gift for me from me :D

[2drSE-i]

lol

pretty much no conventional strut brace bar will fit a carbed accord

[gfrg88]

hey charles did you ever get that strut bar?? did it fit right?? let us know

[AccordRacing21]

My strut bar should be here the 27th of this month. :)

[gfrg88]

cool, keep me updated bro

[charlesb2003]

mine came in yesterday, delivered to my mom's house. as soon as i go out there i'm gonna put it on and i'll let you guys know how it is.

[mkymonkey]

hehehe, i just put on the one piece strut bar from justin (i bought it off of busted). DUUUUUUUDE it feels great! made a 90 degree turn at 60mph. well it was kinda wide for a street, and i was on both right and left lanes lol. it was lonely though so no harm done to anyone. nor did cops see me lol

[AccordEpicenter]

I bought mine today, i might upgrade to justins setup eventually though, whenever he starts making them again

[gfrg88]

has anyone installed theirs yet?? im thinking of getting one for a 4g accord and modyfying it, has anyone tried this and how hard would it be??

[charlesb2003]

well, i finally got around to trying to install mine. first of all, let me say that the quality of the unit is very high. however, IT DOES NOT FIT. i believe the brackets on the ends are for a 4G accord, and NOT ours.

[Cheeseburger]

did u lift the car with a jack from the front when u were trying to install the bar???

[charlesb2003]

no, was i supposed to?

but like, the holes are about a half inch farther apart than the studs coming out of the strut tower. i don't think that would have made a difference... let me go take a pic.

ya it looks like its from a 4th gen accord her is what u can do to it to make it fit

but i tought it was this that u were having trouble with

[charlesb2003]

thanks for the links... only problem is i don't have access to a welding machine. anyone want to make me some custom end pieces?

[Cheeseburger]

no problem amigo thats y im here....

[AccordRacing21]

I'm pissed off. This means that mine won't fit either. Why do people sell stuff and say it's for a car when it's really not? I don't have access to a welder either.

[Cheeseburger]

you could go to a shop and get them to weld it for u, but that would be more money... sucks that they dont fit...

[AccordRacing21]

Have you contacted the seller about it not fitting yet? They have really good feedback so I think it may be a mix up. I hope.

[2drSE-i]

im sure its just a mistake. but im glad i was leary cuz Arospeeds site said nothing about them. maybe we should contact them about the ease of a new bracket??

[AccordRacing21]

I'm pissed, mine doesn't fit either.

[Cheeseburger]

that sucks that they said that it would fit a 3rd gen accord...

[charlesb2003]

maybe they can't count...

[Cheeseburger]

did u try contacting them???

[AccordEpicenter]

sounds like somebody is getting negative FEEDBACK

[AccordRacing21]

On the box that it came (Arospeed box) in it has a sticker on it with a scan bar and a product number then below it it says "86-89 Accord" so I'm not sure if this was put on there by the guy on ebay or if Arospeed intended for it to be on a 3rd gen but screwed up?

[AccordRacing21]

I emailed the guy about the strut bar...here's what he said

We apologize for that. We will have to find out what the problem is exactly. Arospeed does show a part number for the 86-89 Accord models which is ARO651108. That should be the same part number that appears on the bar code label of box you received. We basically receive an application list from Arospeed which tells us the items they have in their warehouse. It is possible that the wrong strut bar was packaged in the box which would be an error on their part but I?m sure they will correct the problem. These strut bars are shipped directly from the Arospeed warehouse so we have to see if all the other strut bars have the same issue. You can go ahead and return the item using the original box it came in. UPS can do a Return to Sender using the same label with no problem. Once we receive the item we will compare the strut bars and resolve the problem as soon as possible. If we notice that all the strut bars have the same issue we will not ship you the same one again. Instead we will issue you a refund for what you paid. Again I apologize for the inconvenience. Let us know as soon as you send the item back.

Thanks

cool man...

[2drSE-i]

dont leave them negative feedback, i think its just a miscommunication.

i got that exact same message. i'm sure it's an error, and they prolly don't make them for our cars. bet we'll be getting a refund soon...

[AccordRacing21]

You're sending yours back? Let me know if they send you the right one or just give you a refund. I'm gonna modify mine to fit if they don't make one for our cars, so keep me updated.

[charlesb2003]

yeah i'm gonna send it back, i'll keep y'all posted.
