actually...theres a first for everyone ! Its a CARBING tie bar...YES !

BTW ALL civic owners (and all car owners really!) should invest in a proper suspension setup like mine or similar...tie bar, front and rear strut tower bars, thicker swaybar, polyuerethene bushes etc...and ofcourse decent aftermarket suspension ! . . . makes a HELL of a difference to ur driving ability. 8)


Now...i just cant wait to install it *DAM NIGHT TIME* lol

Whered you source that from.

I have a 89 civic with KYB racing struts and KMAC springs.

What do you recon the next step would be? Rear sway bar?

Cheers

i sourced it from a very good friend / personal importer... 8)

Would normally cost around $250.00 landed to ur doorstep....

But a wise investment !

For ur car mate ? For all FWD's its best to stiffen up the rear to decrease understeer and hopefully make the car more neutral.

With - rear strut tower brace , thick(er) rear swaybar ( most important) , polyeurethene bushes , lower tie bar ( like mine ) and many other things...

there is many bits and peices u can go out and buy...but the best its are far too expexnsive and or just not in this country ( just like this tie bar i picked up :P) So its best to go have a chat with Whiteline -

www.whiteline.com.au

And see how they can make ur car turn harder and better !

Take it from here !

I wonder why people don't start off with a bigger sway bar. That is the best bang for you bucks (instead of fiddling around with tie bars and strut braces) *cOuGH* BEN *CouGH* hehe

yeah but it sez CARBING man! heavy duty Jap shit! :P Just like my ITR front strut... just that Type R sticker improves my handling by at least 145%... ;)
almost spent $210 on a front Carbing strut awhile back...wonder how much better it would have been? :roll:

What he said x 2 :twisted: :roll: :twisted:

I run a Spoon strut brace, big deal. The only reason I run it is because spunkmunky found it for me at a wreckers and it was designed for an EF8.

If not, I would have gone with a non-brand name that did the job just as well.

Brand name = waste of money over a sticker :P

I've seen some of the no-name strut braces flex & bent outta shape under hard cornering.

That's probably because its only 2mm thick. The ricey ones you buy from Autojoy, that give ur engine bay a smick look and nothing else.

I step outside for a second and the thread is hijacked ! Help ! Police !

Yes. Auto joy is tripe. Got rice , bitch ? No ? then go to autojoy ! 8)

What would you classify as cheap and expensive? To one with a big budget, nothing is expensive and to one with little or no budget, everything is expensive. :roll:

Most things from Jap are considered expensive. Whiteline is cheap (cheaper), but good.

Then you go down to the nasty no name stuff :cry:
