sorry if this question has been asked already...does any manufacturer make a stiffer front strut bar for our car? got a-spec sus. and it just wasn't what i was expecting , still experiencing some body roll in the front...got the rear lower sway from comptech in the rear...no complaints.

called comptech to see if they are trying to make one for our car...doesn't seem likely...maybe 01-03 strut bar from them would fit our cars...??

 

Any strut bar for an 03+ Honda Accord will work. The choices are Neuspeed, Greddy, or DC sports.

I'm currently running the Greddy strut bar...seems to work pretty good.

 

Note....if you think changing this bar out is gonna help...I have some 17" OEM rims that are guaranteed to get you at least 5 seconds off your 1/4 mile time! J/k

Hey...the OEM bar is a solid mount strut bar.....some of the others have pivot points in em...meaning they are likely to be less stiff than the one you have on there now? As Accuratein mentions...there are other options...but fact is....if you dont have EDFC with Tein suspension....you really dont need to waste your money....cause it would just be all in your mind if you did notice something different. Its just a brace....and the OEM works as good if not better than aftermarket ones. If you have a Tein suspension with the automatic EDFC controller unit...you need access to the top of the shock towers that the OEM bar covers....meaning you must trim down the OEM bar. In this case...running an aftermarket bar is probably better....but in your case with the A-Spec suspension....not so. I started to change mine out too....got a Neuspeed one.....didnt fit without having to change out the tophat on the shock units too. (bolts dont fit down the mounting point tubes on the bar...they are too big around) Resold it on ebay a month later.

Also...side note....all your rear plastic panels under your hood also have mount points that are attached to the strut bar...so you would have to dump those too.

 

YOu can also do the front sway bar, I think that would help more with body roll than the strut bar but I've heard the front sway bar is a REAL pain to swap. Like unbolting and lowering the engine if I remember correctly.

 

^^yes...I was down there yesterday looking for a clip I dropped and thought to myself....this front sway bar looks like it could be a PAIN to change out....

BTW...found the clip.....but on a drive-around to get it to fall out....woohoo!
