Okay, so i found a dc strut bar for a 88-91 civic, and was wondering if that year civic is the struts that fit our fronts? And how much shorter is the engine bay strut-to-strut wise?

if you can weld just make your won you need to tubes and a couple of flat plates then its just mocking up and cutting lol
^^ i kno, but id rather just spend time making plates, not the whole shabang lol
edit: i might go ghetto mock up some plates wit cardboard...
Tim I would see if that would work for the back.

^^ didnt kno bout them cracking. lol. i need to stop my 3gee from flexing. as soon as i get sway/strut bars and stiffer springs on the front ill be super happy.
Edit: also, ill be picking up tie bars (F+R) for a 93 accord this week and will let u guys kno if the front one will fit w/o alot of trouble.
i did the lower bar with a 4th gen sway bar....i got to take it to the twisties and wow...much better handling...i need smaller tires tho because mine hit the inner liner on tight turns....se-i breaks are good...i was turning and i heard the rears locking up
