Gotta question bout a strut bar! - 12/1/2006 10:00:54 PM    chenghng   Posts: 14 Joined: 11/23/2006 Status: offline Does a strut bar help a car's handling? and since our hondas have DWS (double wishbone suspension) is it a good idea to put in on there? Worth the $180? _____________________________ //2003 Honda Accord EX Coupe I4//Sapphire Blue Pearl on Black Leather// Post #: 1

Mine sure didnt cost 180 bones though. _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to chenghng) Post #: 2

If you drive really aggressive and are hard on the corners, then you might feel a little difference. Cars do flex under heavy strain and a strut tower bar could be a nice compliment to a suspension kit. _____________________________ You get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing. 95 EX Auto OBX 4-2-1 Header Type R Strut Bar SRI 174k miles (in reply to 02BlueAccord) Post #: 4

It wont make your car a skidpad monster by itself, but it does help. It helped with my steering, the car seemed a little more willing to go where I pointed it after I put it on. _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to Slusher) Post #: 5

The stock 6 speed V-6 coupe brace, which I have, can be had for a lot less. The combination of that part and an upzised anti sway bar really makes a big difference. I chose a stock Acura 17mm bar but 20 & 22 are available. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to poser_pilot6) Post #: 6

I got a cheapo one off Ebay for $20-30, swung by Pep-Boys picked up some mirrage paint (red/blue), and if anything it makes for a great show piece. (in reply to RTexasF) Post #: 7

We were coming home from school he took a turn going 60-70mph(not a chance in hell he could of made it) lost control, slid off the road, and slammed drivers side door into a light pole. When he woke up he had no idea where he was and what was going on. When the FD got there they used the jaws of life to take off the doors, and roof of the car to get him out. And from there was Life Flighted to the nearby hospital. What made me mad was later that night he walked himself out of the hospital...perfectly fine(he's sore as hell today). Since then we have changed his name to Superman :\. _____________________________ 92 LX Magnaflow fart can :/ Custon made K&N intake Strut Bar Altezza Lights Blue Neons Supra turbo (soon, \/ soon as well) Apexi neo Many assorted little things for the turbo (in reply to ncsgoofy) Post #: 8
