I have to try it again. Did you have to jack your car up? Some people are telling me to jack all 4 wheels up but I only have one set of jack stands. I jacked the front up but no luck. I did exactly what you did , but still 1/4" too short. I am going to rubber mallet to stretch it a little but this little bar ain't stretching. Lol
Thanks.

I've never had to jack up the car for an upper strut bar; I just make sure it's level to "unburden" the front suspension as much as possible.

I'm not sure about this, (maybe some other members can shed some light and confirm or disprove my info) but I think that the 90-93 shares similar layout with the 94-97 when it comes to front suspension geometry, but that the track is different. I.E., an adjustable front bar fits the entire 90-97 range, but a "solid" bar (Neuspeed, Sprint) have differing lengths.

It could be as simple as the ebay seller sending the wrong part.

It's a snug fit, for certain, but it shouldn't be off anywhere near a quarter inch.

you are suposta take the stress off all 4 wheels when doing a install. If not it is only doing half of its job...remember our cars are unibodys

also all 90-97 accord share the same suspension components.

You jack up all 4 even when just doing the front? Finally got it on, I jack up the center of the car while all 4 bolts are on but loose. Then I tighten them and let the car down.

yes think about it...if you only jack up the front of the car you are still twisting the chassis from the more uneven weight distribution. You want the body have as less flex when installing strut braces and sway braces

Oh yeah. You look like a Gator's fan. I am with the Canes. Though I now live in CA and it's tough to catch the East coast games without cable.
Thanks for the help again.
