Was wondering if anyone here can identify the brand of this strut bar?

..also on a side note, how do you replace the A on the valve cover? Same way you would replace a trunk badging?

Thanks.

 

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say Eibach?

 

eibach didn't make strutbars for 2g tls. maybe APR Performance or Megans.

 

^^
Ya, that's just sticker placement. I was thinking APR too.. Megans have holes in their design, similar to DC Sports style..

Maybe it's a Accord application ??

 

i think the h badge just has a couple of clips on the back and maybe doable sided too, hardest part be finding a actual h that look right
and no idea who makes that bar but i remember some brochere or something mentioning something about the 2 bolts on each side from the bar to mounts, i was surfing the internet so i would search

 

The badge has two push out tabs.

No idea about the strut bar.

 

anyone know where I could get a strut bar like that for my 2002 acura tls??? anyhelp would be appreciated. thanks

 

That's why I started this thread lol

I'm sure someone can help us out.. but so far the closest I've seen to that is the APR like someone suggested previously.

 

Where did you see the apr at? Would an accord one fit on our car?

 

doable sided tape

 

Just google it.. I remembered their style of strut bars from browsing parts for my old ride.. certain companys just have certain designs / styles.

Seems like Accord V6 suspension parts can be interchangable.

 

eibach did make a strut for 98-02 accord v6 and i4


this one was painted black (v6 version):



i4 version:

 

So I could use a strut bat for a V6 accord on my 2002 acura tls?? what year would it have to be for the accord? sorry, im new to all this, just looking for some help. apologize if this was a dumb question. thanks

 

No need to apologize.. it's a forum, we help people out. I asked the same question before too!

Yes you can use the 02 Accord V6 version.

Lippstuh thanks for the info / clarification!

 

I wouldnt use a strut bar that replaces our stock bar. Most bars are only strut tower to strut tower. Ours are a multi point. If you get one make sure it utilizes the stock bar

 

i would personally get the CT one or get the neuspeed + stock bar..

 

Can you post a pic (or list which brands) of a strut bar that is compatible with the OEM one that you're talking about? Wonder if there's something like the PW-JDM 3point strut bar for our cars.. tried searching for that Eibach strut, looks like it's discontinued..

 

^ See post 16.

 

So just Neuspeed and Comptech?

Cool, thanks!

 

get the cusco bar - it is used with the stock bar and looks impressive. was about $100 or less i think.

 

^
Ahh I see what you guys mean.. I think I will go Cusco route.

Thanks!

 

Cusco is like 160 with a wait, last time I checked.

 

Our stock strut is just 4 points, yes? If I found one that is 3 point it should be more or less the same shouldn't it?

Wonder if they made somthing like this for the TL or Accord

 

Comptech works great, looks great!

 

i thought comptech just went straight across, i didn't relize it also bolted to the cowl

 

^^^ x2... im liking the comptech...

 

I love my Cusco bar

 

I love my RS*R bar.

 

I dont have a strut bar. . . they dont do anything lol

 

but you see the machined billit aluminum arms on the comptech one, it is so (like what i said before).

BTW: did you take off the factory one??? honda wouldn't have put that there just for no reason (and attached it with seperate bolts) if it didn't do anything, it proably would have just been stamped sheet metal if it was only there to hold the wires

 

honestly I popped the hood once and said shit its dirty. .. and its been raining since. so I never noticed lol

 

Wrong.

They serve a very important purpose. Why do you think they are on most mid to high performance cars there are?

 

Strut bars improve handling.

I'm in the process of getting a strut bar for my 1G TL.

 

all depends on design, 90% of strutbar's on the market are 100% bling factor. . .

you need a rigid bar (no joints) in order to gain what little it can give, you can gain more from stiffer sidewalls on your tires. . .

 

thus.. comptech bar wins.

i got mine mainly for aesthetics. =]

 

Too bad the comptech is discontinued.....

 

its too bad all the good's are discontinued

 

At least CT Engineering still decided to continue with some of the lines. They should make a limited run of the bars.

 

i love my oem and my neuspeed combination.

 

3rd gen manifold? any gains?
