Thats interesting...on a side not though. Would I benefit at all from getting front and rear strut tower bars? I already have lowered my car, beefy sway bars in front and rear and also have more rubber touching the pavement. It handles very well...but I also like to make things better. So maybe I can take some corner faster.

I doubt if it's worth the effort. The "middle" of the car is the point that flexes the least in turns....a front or rear STB would do much better for the handling.....

Actually this car flexes a lot at the center - could you post a link for the part - I am interested. Wanted one of those for my old civic, but can't remember where I saw them.


A rear STB would definitely help the rear end snap around a little quicker. I'd do both stb's(I did) since they are a minimal expense and make a difference.

Yes that is the link that I got it at. Even if it don't do anything, I think it looks good for the apperance part of the car.

Friend got one for his honda and it make the chassis very stiff. His honda had front & rear strut tower braces, Rear lower control arm brace and then the body stiffener and it could be felt when driven hard.

yea but that's kinda annoying being in the middle of the car like that. if you really want the chasis that stiff just get the full chasis brace and call it a day.
