For one, EG civics in OZ never came with "stock" strut bars...the one you are referrign to is a " chassis brace" - it came stock upon EK4 and DC2 vtirs i believe - does not so much in hte wat of stiffness....

What you want is an actual "Strut brace" -

for example my sexy front one

or maybe a rear one if u like :P

Such a bar mounts directly to the suspension struts (tops) - directly linking both sides - making the front or back suspension work more so in union

But in such a understeer biased car such as our lil EG...i would suggest only gettin either a rear strut bar with stock suspension...other wise get both

well ok the 1's that come stock on the VTIR civic

they dont go over the shocks they only bolt on to the body,,

which is less effective than the 1's that go over the shocks

i think jon still has a cusco strut left ask him

why would honda designers put it there if it's not effective? BLING?
