Strut Sway Bar Question Trunk

It there a sway bar for inside the trunk on a 97 that could go from 1 shock tower to the other to stiffen up the back side a bit? I am cutting the rear deck out and will loose a bit of rigedness I think and want to compensate for that...

I believe you mean rear upper strut bar, the sway bars are under the car. If you are cutting out the deck, then you would want a rear upper strut bar in your trunk. I have one, but haven't installed it yet. Any rear strut bar for a 94-97 accord will work. Just make sure to pick a nice one, and not something cheap.

I got em. I bought the ones for the 94-97 accords. Fits perfect. I didnt cut out any of the carpet because I have no rear seats to begin with. Otherwise, cutting it wont be a bad idea

I was wondering if I should get on of those 3 packs on ebay for a 94-97 Accord.. it includes the Front upper strut bar, rear lower sway bar the rear upper strut bar. Are they all compatible with the '97 CL? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33591

They will fit your CL, but they're eBay pieces of crap. You get what you pay for. Any strut bar with pivot points at the ends is no good, either. I think DC Sports makes strut bars for the Accord/CL, check them out.

anyone know if there's a strut bar for the rear/trunk for a 99 2.3CL? And would it allow you to turn a the corners at a faster speed?

94-97 Accord will fit in the Cl. They don't make one specifically for our cars, so the 94-97 Accord strut bars, tie bars, and I'm pretty sure sway bars will fit our cars.
