OEM rear strut bar

[n/a]

hey guys, i drive a civic so i have no clue about R parts but i was wondering how the OEM rear strut bar compares to JDM aftermarket bars such as cusco, spoon etc etc.

[shebangs]

Obviously they'll be better, but maybe you question should ask whether the Mugen or Spoon ones are better than our local whiteline range. I would only buy Spoon/Tien coilovers/springs/shocks, but when it comes to strut and swaybars, I heard whiteline are the one of best and just happen to be in Australia.

i doubt that u would feel the difference between OEM and aftermarket on the street.

i didn't think it'll be obvious..

anyway, i wouldn't say whiteline are best in the world, just best in australia.

Whiteline don't make front strut braces for the EFs anyway. Trying to find some for the CRX Club boyz here in Perth recently, I even had a look in NZ and found a couple but the service is a bit off. We're going to copy my front brace which goes behind the throttle body unlike most which go over the top.

the rear DC2 R "optional" strut bar is small and quite weak...IMO i think its just a show piece ( much like the front). IT wont do anything in a EG/DC or EK ~ look at larger thicker strutbars...

sinister if you do get the bar copied let me know.

so ben the OEM bar is a rubbish bar? gayed..

[bennjamin]

not rubbish - its optional in a already "reinforced" car. IMO Its for looks only. (just look at the thickness , and the mounting points...thin)

mm.. true true, how would this compare to Cusco OS bar?

Honda Dealer will over charge you anyways......u'll be better off go after market:D

[hebe]

yea go aftermarket and give me your oem one :p

I got a rear strut bar in my DC2R, its a spoon bar and it works well....around the track that is, because it simply dosn't come into play under normal driving conditions.

[**Ghost**]

i got a spoon strut bar for rear in an ek... its almost double the thickness of an OEM type R...

i cant say for certain that it made all that much of a diff... the ride seems stiffer... but i am prepared to admit that may just be my imagination/wishful thinking

Hanson, with your rear Cusco strut bar, is there the need to modify (cut) your rear interior trim to fit the bar, or does it fit throught the standard suspension holes?
