UPS dude came today brought me my c-pillar bar from an 90-93 integra,It almost didnt fit i had to extend it out as far as i could,and i got lucky when the seat belt holes fit on the bar's ends.Anyways long story short thers a really steep driveway at my work and i have to go in sideways and i could always hear the car flexing now that i got this =no flexing,and it added a little bit better handling also.Hers some pix

Looks good. I wonder if there is any posibility that it might fit a 4 door?

Uh no....If you put it in right it sit a couple of inches behind the head rest.But if my dumbass friends hit their heads on it i'll geta couple handle bar pads it's an easy fix.:slap:

I can't imagine that would be a really safe way to install harnesses at all. Its higher then shoulder height which would be useless in a rollover, or to keep your ass planted down in the seat.

thats kinda pointless IMO. I''m wiilling to bet the 'better handling' you're experiencing is mostly in your noodle.

the whole point of this bar is for body flex-its basically an alternitive to welding all the seams of the body inside to make the body more ridgid,they make some crazy 5 point ones for tegs,civics,crx hatchs-they even make some your supposed to put on the floor in your back seat-do they work? yes theres prob some body flex that it does get rid of during very hard cornering,but wont do much of anything if your just a daliy driver-so before you flame him do some research

A little bit, but not as much as a strut bar though.I've yet to find one of those,i'm probably going to make my own.

These are pretty much designed for hatchbacks, because they have such a big void in the structure in that area, it makes sense... I can't see it making a huge difference in a sedan of coupe.

yeah ive only seen them on hatchbacks before, never seen much on coupes or sedans....

you have to try it out.... i think what you can do is go to jy and measure the coupes rear c pillar point to point then measure the hatchs, if its an inch or two shorter it should still be good cause he said he had to extend it all the way in order for it to fit.....
