c pillar bar off a DA integra

[2283kdogg]

would the same DA c pillar bar work for the middle of the car where the driver and passenger seat belts go?

that is possibly one of the worst things you can do to a car if it's in a collision. if it miraculously doesn't break, that's a 1" diameter head cracker that is 6" from the back of your skull. if it does break (which it probably will), then you have one or two giant metal spears flailing around waiting to stab you.

there are better ways of stiffening your chassis.

Since this is in "Apperance", I doubt chassis stiffening was even the primary concern!

But yes, putting any sort of bar there can be deadly. The harness bar that PhatAccord linked to is pretty much what you'd need (and even then, without a quality racing seat, it can be dangerous.) Keep in mind, with any sort of additional bracing in the rear passenger compartment, you're basically turning your car into a 2-seater. Even proper braces/supports can be deadly obstacles for rear passengers in a collision.

C-pillar bar does have its pros and cons but that B-pillar bar isnt a good choice at all
