A 90-93 accord rear strut tower bar fits with a little cutting and welding.

they all have to be modded.. Closest is cb7 which still needs modding. I can't remember. I know I have one that I modded at my brother's place.

I just picked up the da bar and the bases are pretty close in the front . I just need to drill one hole to get it to line up with the tophat. the bar is too short but i have another bar that is longer that i will try to mount on the da bases. i gotta work tomoro so thats all i have for now
...... more on this tomoro

the 4th gen bar fits but you need to cut and reweld the bracket to make it fit over our shock towers. for the rear also the 4th gen is the one that fits with cutting.

does it require alot of cutting and welding or is it just light modifications ?

and will the rears fit on a hatch ?

Got the bar on but not without major mods. and a i had to mismatch the teo bars to create one that will work for now. i felt some difference as far as cornering goes but it definitely made my steering respond better. basically the cb7 bars are our only semi easy option. but i come across strut bars all the time so ill keep playing around and maybe find an alternative. and i dnt have a link since i didnt buy the bars. they were payment for work i did on an eg and ef hatch.

i used one da mount on the passenger side but i had to mount it backwards to compensate for the extra long eg bar. on the drivers side i used one eg mount. they are only on there right now with one bolt holding both mounts but i plan on welding on other brackets to give more structural support... pics later

you can use a bar from a 3rd gen lude if you take the mounts, turn them a little and drill new holes. they fit perfectly. i plan on installing mine soon.

Nope the lude bar didnt work the mounts were off set and would require to much modification.
