Question 95 Civic Strut Bars/C-Pillar/H-Brace?

Whats up guys?

i gotta question for ya..

im doing up my suspension.. im changing all my bushings ive got the energy master bushing set which is all poly and im even doing the trailing arm bushing..

now ive had strut bars on before, just upper front and lower rear.. and i have noticed a difference.

So now ive decided to get the 5pc Combo set, which comes with
Front/Rear Upper Strut bars, Front/Rear Lower tie bars & one C-Pillar bar.
i was gonna grab this off ebay

92-95 Honda Civic Strut + Tie + C-Pillar Bar 5pc Combo on eBay.ca (item 400110084235 end time 17-Apr-10 20:12:26 EDT)

does any one suggest any good brands? or is this sufficient? .

Now to the H-Brace, this is new to me and honestly i have never heard of it until i wanted to do my suspension. Ive been doing some research, and there is alot of positive feeback with regards to the H-Brace.. .. it looks promising, and ive seen them on cars, and i know they hang low, but i dunno if its worth it..


does anyone have one on their car? or have any info regarding them? any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks in advance guys.

The C-pillar bar won't do much at all, especially if you have strut bars.

Strut bars are much more effective at stiffening up the chassis.

Strut bar = tower bar. Strut/tower bar bolts to the top of the strut towers. They do help minimize chassis flex.

I had front/back strut tower and C-pillar bar. I could honestly not tell the difference with them on or off.

If you were to track the car you'd probably notice it more. Unfortunately while street driving you do not put enough stress on the frame to make it twist enough.
If you want proper frame support a 6+point roll cage would eliminate a lot of the frame/car twisting and would provide a lot of safety. Again that's if you decide that your car is a track car.
