Minor Upgrades

[VTiracer]

Thanks for the info guys....

Question.....OK...my Civic already has a stock front strut bay which doesnt seem to flex too much, BUT ...I would like to stiffen up the rear with a rear strut brace....has anyone installed such a thing and also have they a source to purchase one?

Thanks!

Normally I´m just using a strut bar at the front because IMO the front is the weakest point because of the heavy engine. But as far as I know the 4th and 5th gen Prelude are already very stiff so that it was never that necessary for me any ways.
Have a look at the "Important:List of european shops/ brands! " topic here in the europe forum. There are a lot of european shops listed where you´ll definetly find what you´re looking for. Just watch out that you´re not going to buy strut bars with pivot points because they won´t perform as good as "one-piece-versions". Good brands are Spoon, Neuspeed, Mugen, Comptech, Weapon R (??),....

Hi,

I now have the front and rear upper stru bar and the diference is big. If you change the front upper bar, you will find that the rear end of the car tend's to slide a bit. After the installation of the rear one, I end up cornering much faster but the rear (it get scary some times ) usually stop's advising its going out . You have to be very fast with the steering and throotle .

One advise, give a few test runs before you buy, you may end up with a conclusion that you don't need that at all. In my case I'm currently runing on a closed circuit with race tires, and for this configuration that's defenetly a must .
