    Upper Sway Bars?

    Ok, I've got a couple of questions: First am I correct that our cars come stock with a front lower sway bar? Second, if I were to get a webber type airbox (im carbed) or alter my airbox, could I get a front upper sway bar? And lastly, where can i find rear upper sway bars that fit our cars? (are they easy to install?) Pictures are welcome. Thanks!

    You mean the strut tower bars. I think DC sells the front ones, they're also available from whiteline. Justin (88turboaccord) was making rear ones, dunno if he still is though. He would be the only source for the backs. The bars arn't that hard to install, though you have to do some triming on the back. If you want one on the front you'll need a clear path from the top of one strut to the other.

    I am still making them, I sent away for 4 as of right now, but if anyone I know of 2 that are already spoken for, if there is an interest for more than the other 2, I will order some more up and modify them..

    Justin, I would be down for one of those rear bars come later this spring.

    How much do they interfere with stuff in your trunk? Because if they are in an awkward place I don't think I'd want one.

    Justins strut bar (rear) fits fin and is close to the back seat. Before i customized my trunk for my system i just cut the side lining and put the bracket through and i was all set. I think the 4dr Lxi's have hard plastic panels in the trunk rather than the soft panel in the coupes.

    DC Sports makes one for the front you could pick one up for around $160 off of www.nopionline.com they're for fuel injected only.
