about 1/3 rd the way down.

called, no answer.
DBA/ Wheels Plus -> Miami

[frantik]

hmm.. looks pretty legit. and that price is pretty hard to say no to


the fact that there's a product counter next to each product makes me think they really do have 13 left

[frantik]

well i just ordered one and the product counter went from 13 to 12

so i'd jump on this in a hurry if you want one!

[theDougler]

the price seems a little on the cheap side tho for strut tower brace

[Cheeseburger]

hope they really do have it!!!!!!

but look at this thread

[frantik]

how much can a bar of metal and mounting brackets really cost? I bet they manufacuture the bars so that they can be used on a lot of vehicles and just have different brackets.

in any case they look sturdier than the ones from http://www.ppsonline.net/sustrut.htm

[Cheeseburger]

i would get one if they really have them. and i already have one.

doh.. shoulda searched before hand cause that doesnt sound good :thumbdn: it sounds like from that thread even if they do have them in stock it might be the wrong bar? that would suck if so.

[Cheeseburger]

ya i hate to be the guy to give the bad news but its better to know that before they sent it out. but hey you never know. no one realy asked arospeed if the really had them. or makes them. so there is still hope~!

arospeed never made them. they will send you 90 accord strut bars, sorry guys.

[frantik]

just talked to arospeed and they confirmed it's for a 90 :( at least i didn't get charged :D phew!


i dunno if it was just me or what but the way the guy replied he kinda sounded disappointed and somewhat guilty.. they obviously know it's not the right bar but are still selling them. i wouldnt be suprised if those are the bars the ebay seller had which they had to buy back or something since they werent listed on their website until recently

also to talk to the sales rep i had to press 4 for product support. from my brief experience with the company i'd have to say avoid them lol..


dude cheeseburger thanks a shitton for pointing that out. :bow: i dunno why i didnt search before hand :slap:

[ottomatic]

would these even fit a 89/carb
not much room in the engine compartment, filter an all. ??

[frantik]

i wonder how much it would cost to get a custom bracket made.. maybe we could find a fabrication shop and make a group buy of mounting brackets for an 90 accord bar

[labeledsk8r]

there are no strut tower bars made at all for the carbed accord, has to be custom fabed to go around the carb i have seen people go from the tower to the firewall behind the airbox before.

[MessyHonda]

LOL at all you ppl...thank god i got mine. you guys will just have to check it out when i put it on....hehe

[gfrg88]

ha!! that bar wasnt ever made for our cars!! :lol: i found that like a year ago and someone bought it and it didnt fit.... some one else awhile ago bought it and it didnt fit either :thumbdown:

thats a big bummer hopefully they will refund your money

[Jasonf860]

Question, are the Gen 4 mounts the same as the ones for the gen 3? Can't be to hard to fab something up!

[frantik]

^ there's a thread on how to do the retrofit around here somewhere. all it requires is modifying the mounting bracket slightly. or you can order one from justin that's bolt on for $80 shipped


thats a big bummer hopefully they will refund your money
luckily they didnt actually charge me.. it was on "pending transactions" but it never was finalized (phew!)

gah! i was wrong :pc: the fuckers did really charge me after all. son of a bitch

fuck it was just delivered to my house :pc: :pc: :pc:

[Cheeseburger]

lol... try it see if it fits

[MessyHonda]

fuck it was just delivered to my house :pc: :pc: :pc:

cant you call them and say that its the wrong bar and they should fix the link...lol didnt you also pay for justins bars...lol

[frantik]

cant you call them and say that its the wrong bar

dude i called them twice before they charged me, once after and now once after they delivered it

they know and dont care that the bars dont fit.. i think they're just hoping people will order them and decide it's not worth trying to get their money back. they're labeled from the factory 86-89 so it looks all legit. but im not gonna even open the box cause i did already pay for a set of justin's bars

[Vanilla Sky]

nevermind, i reread the thread and answered my own question.

[labeledsk8r]

OR you could get weber and you could fit a bar on there :D
yeah lol shoulda said to fit a stock carbed accord lol oh well

[frantik]

goddamn getting my money back from these people is harder than pulling teeth.. they recieved the return on the 9th.. still no $$.. calling them i just get put on hold forever wtf. now supposedly someone is supposed to call me back.. we'll see how well that goes :\

[gfrg88]

that sux dude, well i hope you get your money back.

[frantik]

so i called up arospeed after they didnt call me back yesterday... i get put on hold for like 15 minutes.. someone picks up "have you been helped?" fucking retards.. so i tell him what i had told the other people.. he puts me on hold again.. comes back a little while later and asks me for a "return authorization number" which i was never given. i tell him i dont have one and he says oh well then we cant refund your money. i start getting upset and he fucking hangs up on me. what a bunch of fucking theives

anyways i called up my bank and hopefully i should be getting the money credited to my account, eventually.


NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM AROSPEED!!!!!!

that blows what car was it for? should of sold it on craigslist...

[frantik]

it fit a 4th gen..

i sent it back like three weeks ago.. they told me they'd refund my money as soon as they got the part back. i wasn't gonna let them keep my money after i told them to cancel the order.

i'm not tripping i'm sure my bank will credit my account for the $50. i just hope the bank can like cancel the transaction or something so arospeed doesn't get to keep my money cause they don't deserve it
