what ever happened to your front strut bar????? yours is a GT right!!??


they stopped putting the strut bar in the GT in 98 i think. not sure why exactly so mine doesn't have one. i want to get a Jspeed, C-One, or TRD strut bar soon. it's just a matter of finding one.
so if anyone has one they are willing to sell me LMK. i have started a couple WTB threads without any response.

from what i read they removed it to improve ride quality when they stopped producing the ST model

i ended up finding one that was already silver from the factory. to be honest it was almost cheaper than just getting mine painted. since it's OEM paint so it'll stay lookin good too.
thanks and it's on my to do list wink.gif

it's a sticker overlay that goes on the light. i came up with the idea and lewfx made the stickers. he may still have some. i'm not sure though because he got a new job and i'm not sure if he sold all of the ones he had already made.

so i didn't get the springs on yesterday as planned frown.gif
it was raining for the most of the day and i don't have access to a garage. hopefully i will have the time to do it this weekend.
either way i plan to take plenty of b4 and after pics.

there should be since from what i hear the stock bar is pretty flimsy as well as this has a full triangle for support and the bar is thicker and more stiff. mostly i'm just buying the name (sadly frown.gif ) i would much rather have a jspeed one though but they are way hard to find and usually they cost a bit more as far as i've been able to find.

yeah. i have heard about that,
also, do you remember the name of the member that was selling those sticker for the back brake light?
its starting to look very tasty the trd brace wont make much difference to stock but it will look absolute great and well done on getting it ive got braces front and rear the rear is a great difference but front is pretty stiff due the reinforcing bar behind the dash loving the car tho and keep it coming great posts thumbsup.gif

it's actually not too farty. it has a pretty low growl. it doesn't sound ricey like your typical civic can. i didn't put it on there though. it was installed when i bought it. i might eventually get a new muffler but i think i'll wait until i get a full exhaust system done. i'm still debating on keeping it NA or FI. i'm leaning towards NA cuz it's cheaper and more reliable. maybe i'll get my cams done from webcams eventually. i won't really do anything with the exhaust until i can decide.
i love the type R speakers. they sound great. i just wish i hadn't cheaped out on the sub. the one i have is pretty decent but i think i'll eventually upgrade to 2 type R 10s or 12s.
thanks for the compliment though smile.gif
