Ysidro, if you can't get it built yourself, I have found someplace locally that would be willing to build one, and if we want, as many as we would need.

you can still buy it. You just have to find someone who sells it and have it shipped to you...from the motherland.

Wow,
thanks for the quick response.
Now I have a prototype for my project.
Mizouse, can i bother you with a couple more thing?
How many inch is it from end to end for the silver bar?
And does the silver bar touch the middle EGR plate thing?
I think I can weld and fabricate something to look like that.
Does anyone know if they sell strut bar parts and where to get them?
I want to atleast get the base where its screwed onto the strut tower.
When its done, im going to make a couple and put it up on Ebay if anyones interest.

I can definately notice much less body roll. I have my car lowered too, so i corner better, but even before the car was lowered, the body roll was reduced significantly.

ill have to measure the bar and give u numbers. the egr plate has a bolt that touches the bar. neokinetics, the dude i bought it from dremmeled a tiny notch to make it fit.

I don't recommend GAB due to the fact that it's not 1 piece welded together. The bolt is not strong enough to withold the force. And of course, it's better than nothing.

What Gsteg recommended is this bar http://acura-legend.com/vbulletin/sh...=MLS+strut+bar . If you read some of the posts, you'll know. Yes..I know it's not made for our car, but if anyone going to get a strut bar, this would be an ideal choice.

I emailed the guy who got the "MLS" bar made to see if he can make one that fit our cars. We'll see what he has to say and I'll update you guys with the news. But for now...start saving.
