      I got those cheap strut bars and I was wondering if I could fabricate a metal piece and weld it in place of the aluminum center bar. No idea though what metal would be stiff enough.

        I'm not sure of the dimensions, but, what you could do is browse like eBay, get an idea of what kind of design you want and go from there.

        Then, go out, measure your car, probably from the center of 1 strut bolt to the other, that'll give you a good starting number, then, figure out a way to attach it to the strut bolts.

            Do some phone-calling and see if anyone at Honda can get you the dimensions or even a drawing.
            There are no black and white suspension answers!!!!!!!!!!!

              Here is a pretty decent pic of one, I think. Now, just do some measurements and you should be good to go.

                You really need to measure your own. I built one based off of Honda's specs and to get it to go on and off I have to put the car on jackstands, and get the wieght off of the suspension (It pushes the shock towers closer together)

                Good luck.

                      wallace made his own bar in the past. Ronald_Type-R now owns it.
