long story short... the 6TH Generation Accord guys said that 99 EK9 Civic Rear Bar fit, and also the 90-93 integra bar fit. i know our suspensions are identical, so i assume this would fit on the cl too?

BigLizard

Sounds interesting, I would love to tighten up the rear of my CL as well. The only real difference I've seen between the two cars is the weight. Everything else is damn near identical.

I'd be worried about minor fitment issues though.

I found an ebay store that sells this stuff for cheap.

EDIT: If you buy, and give the on fitment. I'll be trailing along as well.

a while back, j's racing made a rear c-pillar bar for the accord. I bought one, but turns out it wasn't wide enough for the cl. a rear strut bar would fit, but c-pillar i'm not sure about.

C-pillar and rear tie bar would be a tight fit.

yea, i was trying to find those, but couldnt really find any being sold by members. those went under the seat bolt bolts, i believe that's why. i'm trying to find something that goes on the strut mounts because i don't want it to be visible.

i sometimes forget how cheap civic parts can be, even if it doesn't fit, it was only $23.

BigLizard

I wouldn't mind mine showing, I barely have people in the rear seat anyways. If anybody asks, I'll just say it's a JDM clothes hanger.

BigLizard

My next paycheck I think I'm going to try and get some as well.

if you want to, or you could just wait for me to do a few test fitments. shouldnt be more than a couple weeks.

BigLizard

I can wait a couple of weeks.

CL FWD SPEED

Me too

BigLizard

I think I might guinea pig this if you don't get on it first CleanCL.

i already ordered it and its been shipping, i should get it next week. you dont even have a car ?? lol

Titand19

if it doesn't fit just grind it

BigLizard

So...I can go to shop and start putting stuff on. lmao

BigLizard

The C-pillar for the integra has an adjustable length from 43"-45". It will probably be a tight fit. But, there could be a quick fix for this though if the length doesn't match up.

Maybe fabricate the part circled in the red?

i dont like the cpillar bar, im trying to figure out a way to get a rear strut bar to fit. although i would think the pillar bar is easier to get to fit.

BigLizard

I'm not to worried about the c-pillar bar, small people go in the back of my car any ways. I'll give them a courtesy pillow if they feel their head is going to bang up against it. I can also use it for hanging up my clothes. :chuckles:

BigLizard

Mr. Clean, did you buy a rear tie bar this is straight, or one that has a "U" bend?

ComptechV6

Yes the 99ek9 bars fit fine, i have an accord. I would like to have a rear strut bar but not going to happen.

The only thing is you have to stretch the bar out
