Hey, im just curious but where would a front strut bar go on your SI's. I was looking at my Civic Type-R Perfect Guide and it seems they have put the bar somewhere below the engine. First I thought it was just a tie bar of some sort, but the way it is mounted looks more like a strut tower brace. In the pictures of the R there is no visable bar on top. Just curious.

Yea we do have a bar up front stock, it's tied to the chassis, but we can also put a strut tower bar on.

they told you that!? I emailed them and they said no. That's fucked up! Email them back and tell them to give your damn money back

I just installed my rear strut bar.... lemme tell you, this bar has got it goin on. there is a definite change in how it handles turns. Can't wait to install a front strut bar and then install some good shocks and springs.

I'm surprised to here you feel a difference. It must really help for our hatches. I'm still waiting for them to send me the correct brackets.....just my luck to get screwed like that :(

And yes, the front strut bar will be a big difference also. It helps your steering response, you'd be amazed.
