    Rear Strut Brace?

    Ok, after I changed my rear shocks last week I got kinda curious and realized that there is enough room (at least on the sedans...not sure on the 2 doors) for a rear upper strut bar between the two towers....now my question is are there any manufacturers that make a strut bar for that? I'm guessing no, but asking here to see if I'm wrong. If not maybe I'll get this guy to custom fabricate one...anyway, just a question and an idea.

    88turboaccord, the moderator aka justin makes a batch of them every now and then. Here's a link to pm him and ask him when he might be making some more. If I recall the price he ask's is on the low side. He does nice work btw.

    It will stiffen up the chassis and have less body roll. Because when you turn or are on uneven ground the body have give to it so this will stiffen it up a bit. I noticed a big difference in handling when i put it in.
