Rear Tie Stabilizer Brace Bar Installation Help - 7/15/2007 8:34:14 AM    03Sleeper   Posts: 1894 Joined: 6/15/2006 Status: offline Since I couldn't get an answer in the dead thread.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=180135742529&rd=1,1 Erm...heh where does this piece go? I jacked the car up and everything and the only place seems suitable....the rear tie bar didn't fit. Did I get the wrong part? The only place where it looks like it could go is close to the cambers. EDIT- Here are actual pictures....I just figured out by turning the tie bar that it's adjustable and locks via a nut. The clasp/locking mechanism of the tie bar is very strange. _____________________________ 2003 Accord LX Sedan I4| 5AT 101045 Injen SRI w/ AEM Dryflow| DCSports Ceramic Headers| DENSO IK20 Sparks| CF Front Strut Bar| Pioneer TSG950M 6x9s| Alpine SPS17C2 6.5"| C-Tek Slotted/Drilled Rotors | Progress 24mm Rear Sway Bar Post #: 1

It connects on the underside of the vehicle, on the two bolts for the lower control arms. _____________________________ 1992 Accord EX massively modifed H22A 2.5L stroker kit GT35R turbo @ 24psi 459 whp 404 ft-lbs torque (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 6

Where would it go? 17/18? _____________________________ 2003 Accord LX Sedan I4| 5AT 101045 Injen SRI w/ AEM Dryflow| DCSports Ceramic Headers| DENSO IK20 Sparks| CF Front Strut Bar| Pioneer TSG950M 6x9s| Alpine SPS17C2 6.5"| C-Tek Slotted/Drilled Rotors | Progress 24mm Rear Sway Bar (in reply to Shadow1992) Post #: 7

It's too dark right now...but tommorow I'll take a pic of my car so you can see where it is attached. _____________________________ 1992 Accord EX massively modifed H22A 2.5L stroker kit GT35R turbo @ 24psi 459 whp 404 ft-lbs torque (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 8

RE: Rear Tie Stabilizer Brace Bar Installation Help - 7/20/2007 6:58:41 PM    Shadow1992 Posts: 332 Joined: 1/10/2007 Status: offline The last thing it could possibly be is it is a strut bar, but it attaches to either a single bolt on the towers on either side (which doesn't seem right at all), or it attaches to the bolts on the top of the shock itself (which seems even worse). Where did you get it? My rear sway bar is 30mm in diameter, front is 35mm _____________________________ 1992 Accord EX massively modifed H22A 2.5L stroker kit GT35R turbo @ 24psi 459 whp 404 ft-lbs torque (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 15
