Chassis Reinforcement

Post by **saxophonias** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 7:54 am

In the market there are plenty of bars which are meant for reinforcing our stock chassis. To begin with it is a good idea to add bars where the ek9 has. Front and rear strut bars, front and rear lower bars, fender braces etc. are some of the most basic stuff. There are plenty of styles and quality braces in terms of design, material and strength. We will be adding here relevant products.

Let's begin with some front 3 point strut bars which are said to be the most effective in terms of rigidity
I will start with a very respectable jdm company named Carbing which produces various bars of any kind. This is their homepage

Have a look

Then we have the PW JDM 3 point strut bar which is also very famous

the simple pw bar

Another 3 point bar comes from Benen

Here is Ultra Racing 3 point strut bar

For myself I really like the PSW:JDM... should fix me one.

Btw for a cheap solution: the original EK4 (same as EK9?) strutbar costs just 13 euro brand new at a dealership. Incredible low price, especially since it is a dealer.

An Integra Type-R is also good to work with... got that one in my EJ1 chassis.

Right! I got my self the ek4 one very cheaply!

The ek9 one is more expensive as used part, but is it just the different colour? I would say they are identical

i've bought the ek4 one too. it seems similar equal to the Ek9 one.
i've did not applied yet because it hits the air filter box...
i'm buying an D15/D16 one for 60 / 70eur.

The 3 point bar presented above is uglier but seems to be very effective, some people say... Hugs

ok, today i've installed the bar, only in two of the four holes, due to the air filter box. i could wait no more. These tyres that came with the car when i've bought it didnt squeeze, but they do with the bar. i guess car is better now but i'll try it tonight, without any accident i'm hoping

seems that body roll is equal but the limit is higher...

I'm leaving with the car right now, i'll upload one or two photos in some hours when i came back

It has been so hot in here, that the car's chassis cracks when i push it because of metal dilatation. Today on a moutain road i felt that mini me is really necessary... Doing that till the end of the year !

Ok, i did not crash x) Difference between the before and after is noticeable a difference at the limit. now is higher, but this tires / shocks dont do much for me...
Good mod for 13euros though

Cheers
BTW: The bar was screwed with that machines to screw tyres, so it wont run away
