Great pics. On the two tie bars, are they direct bolt-on? Do you have the P/N?

Good inspiration John I like the total package. Did you ever consider getting the 03' tails they would look very nice on your red car.

ok i think i found the p/n for the skunk2 per www.skunk2.com

Honda Accord 1998-2001 518-05-1870 518-05-1875

i find one problem with his setup

skunk2 DOES NOT MAKE A FRONT CONTROL BAR!!!!!!

this bar was meant for the rear which tells me that this set up is not SAFE BECAUSE HE INSTALLED IT ON THE FRONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now i need to find out where he got the dc rear tie bar!

i think i might go with the skunk2 rear tie bar and maybe cusco front tie bar. but because my car is dropped i dont know if the poor thing will last a week!

cant find the dc rear tie bar which suggest that the tie bar is not meant for our cars. unless john can prove otherwise.

so i dont recommend the dc rear tie bar

maybe you should ask your shop to fit the front to the rear and get the cusco front. maybe the car will perform better?? i think its great that you have these bars but are you not concern that the set up you have might actually hurt your performance??

If you have a comptech drop, the Cusco lower arm won't be too much of a problem, you still got to be careful about debris in the road tho.

Hey Johntypes, next time you find yourself under your engine, can you try to find the part number off of the skunk2 bar you have.

thanks.
