Does it have a decent effect you guys think?
Like wouldn't sway bars have a better effect?

The more rigid a chassis the better handling platform the car is,so everything that strengthen the car on the chassis wise would make the car handle better,Strut bars is an example!

that's a generic copy of the Do-Luck bar... but they don't really help much unless you securely attach the side plates to the chassis.

We've had two different cars with those bars on and they are all looks unless you like weld the side plates to the chassis... because the way they mount (using the FRONT seatbelt anchor bar) just defeats the purpose of the bar since the bar itself ends up being a good 1/2 foot or so behind the mounting points.

It's funny because if a passenger accidentally kicked it the bar would swing up like those bars on a roller coaster.

that bar isnt even close to the do luck bar.

if you think the do luck bar is only for looks you are sadly mistaken.

I said it's a copy of the Do-Luck bar. I know the Do-Luck bar works - as do the chassis braces, tension gauge, etc. I never said the Do-Luck bar didn't - I was referring to "all looks" in regards to the Ebay copy bar.

Funny how you see those Ebay bars in every other Civic/Integra.

its not even close to being a copy of the do luck rxb. that ebay bar is all "looks" the mouting sides are way to long. this is only a copy show piece for honda poeple. that bar doestn even work.

with teh rxb bar you are able to push the seats all the way back except for the last notch..so one up.

wiht this bar im sure you cant pusht he seats anywhere. im sure that piece is proably not tall enough to clear the tranny tunnel

Thats because it was originally made for Civic/Integra's (FWD - small tunnel LOL)

I think they just decided that if it'll fit 240's, even if it doesn't really do anything, they can sell it to 240 people. Just like the rear lower tie bar
