Suspension Stabilisation bar (strutbar ??)

hannibal555 · 8th July 2007, 21:08

I don't now how to name it but is there for the civic 2007 a front stabilisation (strut?) bar. I think the car become stiffer.

I think something like this: Showoff Imports.nl

I don't think I'd want my CTR to be any stiffer when it arrives !

It's called a strut brace.

I think someone else pointed out that you cant fit a strut brace to the new civic as the strut tops are under the windscreen and covered by the plastic trim.

If you put a front strut brace on and not a rear it unsettles the car.

There is no need for a strut brace on the Civic. The strut tops are positioned so that they are already braced by the bodywork. A strut brace will slow you down, by adding weight!

Thats just not true at all.
All a front Strut Brace will do is improve turn in.
I suggest you are confusing a strut brace with an Anti Roll Bar!

I'm thinking Pottsy's reply (though strictly speaking accurate) might have been ever so slightly tongue in cheek
