    DC Sports is the only one that was made specifically for our cars, as far as I know. Some custom sets were made by someone here some time ago, but I don't know if you can find any brand new ones that will bolt right on. You can make a 90-93 Accord bar fit the rear with some cutting and welding. If you're handy you can likely do the same with the front.

    **edit** ^^ beat me to it LOL

    DC "made" one for the 3g but its no longer in production so good luck locating one, as of right now other then that you have to make a custom one or find one of "justin's" bars (was a member that made a limited run of tower bars).

    What about using a Strut Tower Bar from another vehicle, like a civic or integra?

    4th gen accord bar works for the rear with some cutting and welding. Need to move the hold like a inch closer and a few degrees inwards.







    but i bolted mine up for a few days with only one hole attached and even then it made a difference.

    Only two companies that I know of made tower bars for our vehicles: DC Sports and Ractive. Neither produce them anymore.
