Does anyone know if a DC2 VTI-R come stock with a front strut bar?
Factory strut bar of course.
yeh it has a stock tower bar
Really cools, thanks for that.
Also most sports car have front struts bar as factory standard right?
yeh, most sport model cars came with stock front struts.

IT connects to the chassis of the car.
A strut bar connects to the STRUT towers ( 2 bolts either side connecting to the top of each shock)
Ok now you just confused me bennjamin.
Can you supply diagram or pics to show the difference?
Strut bars have the "circle" ends on each side - that basically goes around the top of the shocks.
Chassis brace connects jst on top of where the shocks petrude in the engine bay.

type R (silver/black) bar is a chassis bar..
cusco (blue/silver) bar is a strut bar..
notice where it bolts on ?
well it still connects to the strut tower.
lol.
Cools thanks for that pic, one advice though. Your car needs a clean, i see lots of leaves where the window wipers are lol
What are the different effects that these bars have on the car?
I might go invest on the "Strut bar" :D
^^^dont both do the same shit??
try www.redbook.com.au it shows what accessories/modifications are standard on all cars
no it dosent *dont confuse people even more Mr Honda worker* :pQuote:

So the stock DC2 mounting point is defined as "chassis" but 5cm to the right is no longer the chassis? Come on :DQuote:

Then again, it's all useless semantics. We all know what everyone means when they say it, so why bother arguing.
