I've seen those...I've heard mixed reviews, some people say they work some don't, I think it looks cool.

I think its like a rear strut bar...more the illusion of a better handling car than anything.

But yes, I'm still debating.

BTW, I'm moving this to suspension.

I have never seen one of those. I don't really see how it would be effective. Anyone care to fill me in?

they're worthless

[olivrooom]

Actually they aren't worthless. About 3 years back SCC had article on a floorbar. Exactly like that one on Ebay. After they had installed it, they jacked up one side of the car and opened and closed the doors. Normally the doors would catch a little, but with the aide of the floorbar, it reinforced right between the b pillars. The doors closed as if it were sitting flat. I'll do a search on the article. IMO not bad at all. I'm getting mine and I'll let you guys know how it goes.

i believe oneoffaccord has one.

save some $$$ and invest in some sway bars

it goes right behind the front seats on the floor. Beleive that it uses the bolt that the bottom of the seatbelt goes to. I may prolly invest in one trying to get my car a little bit more fun to drive, and for that little extra while auto-xing.

They should supply extra stiffness throughout the chassis. Less chassis flex equal better handling similar to sway and strut bars. Similar to how they do it on race cars except you dont have to weld these.

dont have enuf money for sways, so im gonna look into these.

for another $70 u can get a rear sway bar which is 100x better than that POS floor mount.

all it does is bolt onto your seat belt mounts. which does not in anyway help your suspension. and if u say it helps stiffen your chasis, i doubt itll do much. if u have no $$$ for sway bars next step is to get a strut bar or tie bar if u want chasis stiffening and cant afforede sway bars.

The thing you have to think about saying bolting onto your seat belt mounts. Those should be one of the strongest points on the cars. The lap belt bolts to the B pillar, so supposedly this shares the same bolt, thus bracing against the B pillar. In theory this will work.

From what I've read, this part is much like any Front/Rear strut bar. While having one will help, its the name brands that do much better. The tested one that Olivroom mentioned was the Do Luck bar. The Do Luck bar hasn't been sold in the US for a few years, but those are the bars that make the most difference. However, just on theory that thing should do something. Plus it looks cool

But yeah, I wouldn't make this my first mod probably, but I mean Wed3K does have an EX so at least he has a rear sway. Its better than nothing.

there not completely worthless they obviously bolt up to the chassis and b pillar as stated before.

i thought do-Luck was gonna come back to the states since D1 has caught on here.

if u want full chasis strenthening get a roll cage, that helps out a lot!!! besides it'll look KEWL!!!
