Braces

why dont ITRs have the front lower tie bar like CTRs?

**blackdc2** · 07-01-2005 08:45 AM

i think we are all getting mixed up a little

Strut tower bar (you will only ever have 2 on your car) is the bar that runs from the top of the strut towers to one another.

Lower Tie bars are the bars that go between each lower control arm.

The brace that you are talking about at the rear of the boot near the tail lights, as far as i know is just additional bracing, i dont know any special name for it...

Hope that help, and i hope i got all my info correct

the silver/grey looking bar that runs near the tail light is called a boot brace.

do the ITRs have them or not?

that sounds exactly rite to me.

this is a rear strut (not itr tho)

the rear itr strut tower bar was optional like everyone said, and if you're after them try some of the traders here, like tanghy, z10, hondar, etc...

tiebars = Swaybars or stabilizer bar

Integra type r's do have them.

you can buy them from -> www.whiteline.com.au

so someone correct me if im wrong.. i thnk i got it..

strut= tower bars. connects the two towers to each other ontop of engine.

sway bars = tie bars = underneath car. can have rear and front ones, joining the LCA's.

is that right?
