strut bars?
so I'm trying to get strut bars for my car. I was looking around on ebay and saw many different strut applications: upper front, lower front, upper rear, lower rear. I'm wondering which ones do i really need? or i do get all 4 of them?

Your CL already has a stock front upper strut bar, the one that helps the most is a rear upper strut bar, if you want a bar running through the middle of your trunk, I have upper front and lower front, but when I was slammed I scraped the lower one on middle, you don't technically need any

i got a tanabe front upper strut bar..
i was looking into getting a rear one as well but i already hated dealing with my suspension back there that i didn't wanna have to deal with putting in a strut bar..
i was also looking getting some sways front and rear...Chris any suggestions and do they really help at all?? or anyone else have experience..
(I hope this goes along with the OP is asking, don't wanna hi-jack his thread)

Uppers are easy, rears are somewhat easy if you have jack stands, both front lower and rear lower tie bars are 2 bolts each.

As I've said a million times, best fit and thickest strut bars that fit with ease are Suspension Techniques 94-97 Accord F&R Sways, I have em, I've told a over a dozen people on here to get them.
Megan is junk, buy a solid strut bar, you're not gonna benefit from cheap thin metal with holes in it, you need a solid piece of metal and good brackets. Check out Marcus heeltoe, he has nice cusco upper and lower braces, I got my lower front brace from him, and if I didn't already have my NRG upper brace I would have gotten the upper from him as well. Nice thick upper brace

The rear sway really makes more difference, but I got the set
Really? I'm amazed at how close I got the pics to be side by side almost identical viewpoint.
Yeah that bracket was a bitch, but I got it up after a little fighting

From everyone elses experience Megan products are cheap junk, search for Klepto's Megan Headers thread, many people on many different forums have been upset with Megan's quality over the years
This is who I got mine through, and referred a few members to. Great seller, and best price I could find when I got mine. Geez, they should be paying me commission. Also all I did was search ebay motors for 97 accord sway
Search, starboy2nv has them, if I recall, the Tanabes have fitment issues on the front over the cat

im either gonna polish the LCA's (when i get them) or spray them red. i have a connection in the Bay Area on Hondasociety.com that can get custom LCA's for the Accord suspension. they look 20x better then the megan ones. i can get a picture of them installed later if anyone is interested.

Kneeling down to see the sway, it will be completely invisible once I drop again and put my rear lip on
Doesn't really show up from far away, you just see the bushings, pic is a little blurry but we were both in motion
