strut bar

[saikou27]

hey guys will a honda oem integra dc2 vtir strut bar fit onto an ek1 civic sedan?

[ek4-guy]

Yes it will

edit: Just so you know I sat my ek4 strut bar on a friends dc2 vtir and on another friends delsol at it was identical

Then I fitted that same strut bar to another friends ek1

[bennjamin]

yes as above.

all EG/DC and EK share the same front and rear strut bar layout/dimensions.
The above also share teh same front chassis mount location too

[saikou27]

cheers :D

even 3 point struts?

*nod*

yup it will fit, as mentioned above. btw the teg bar your refering to is a chasis bar, which is bolted directly onto the chasis. in terms of your ek, there is holes which you have to drill and use bolts and nuts to hold the bar in place.

strut bars are different, they mount onto the upper strut tower and use the existing bolts to hold the bar in place.

[hooyn]

yes it will

[bennjamin]

even 3 point struts?


......NO

The EK has a slightly different firewall to the EG and also DC i believe.
For example a EK carbing front 3 point will not fit a EG or DC.

OTher brands MAY be different.

Summary is , all 2 point strut bars OR chassis braces made for EG , DC or EK's , will also suit EG , DC or EK's.

are chassis bars any worse or better than strut bars?

[bennjamin]

lol i thought so :) Anyway As above.

[markoJEK1]

You would have to drill holes into an EK sedan to fit a chassis brace.

There are pre-existing holes for the brace, but there's something blocking those holes which you have to drill into to fit the chassis brace.

Strut brace should bolt straight on though.
