hi all... does anyone installed strut brace on their euro??
i am looking for strut brace for my euro... both front & back,
& lower arm bar as well...
does anyone have any good suggestion??? cusco???
and where i can get them from??? and price please???
i am in sydney btw....
Nothing I know of locally - try Comptech in the USA (look at TSX) or try to source the stock strut from the TSX or Euro R
THe only question is whether the TSX/Euro R strut bars will fit. It probably will but no guarantees until you try to fit it.
Also query whether you will see much improvement. According to Honda the stock chassis is already more rigid than a 3 series BMW.
I have a Comptech Titanium Strut Brace sitting downstairs in the garage that a friend brought back from the USA for me.

Not sure why, but I never got around to fitting it however it should be installed by the end of next weekend. I haven't even checked whether it will fit, but fingers crossed that nothing has changed too much in the swap from LHD to RHD.
Will post pic's once it's in.
thanks

Jolt - when you try this can you take photos of the process and post up here? You will probably be the first person in Aus to do this.
When I mentioned I am not sure if it will fit - I was referring mainly to the braces on the Euro connecting the strut towers to the firewall. If you look at photos of the TSX engine bay - it does not have this bracing. Instead the TSX uses a full tower bar.
These minor differences can make installation interesting and it may be you need to remove the Euro strut bracing. Good luck - make sure you take photos!
I read the instructions for the comptech strut bar on the tsx forums. There are various mounting points on the bar itself to mount the accessories on. Also, there are 2 bits that connects the strut towers to the firewall, so you would have to remove the existing ones.
thx for da info jolt...
i have search throught the internet the whole nite and the only strut brace i can found is comptech one as well....
just wanna ask you wats the weight of the comptech strut brace??
P.S. they have sway bar for tsx as well... :D
Or get the stock Honda/Acura TSX one.Quote:

The Comptech one is ridiculously expensive for what it is and (what I suspect will be) the limited improvement it will provide to what is an already very rigid chassis, but I find it hard to say no to almost anything made from titanium!!
Yes, I'll weigh all the pieces, take plenty of photo's and post them here or to a website.

PS: The billet aluminium arms which attach the titanium Comptech bar to the strut tops and the firewall are absolute works of art. The photo's on their website don't do them justice.
In all seriousness they belong in a gallery.
thanks
