DC Sports

I have a 1997 Civic EX, and I want to replace the DC Sports bars (front upper strut, rear upper strut, and rear lower tie) with Spoon Sports bars. I have two questions.

1 - Are Spoon Sports bars hard to install? My car is over six years old. I am guessing that, over the years, the body permanently twisted a little bit. Since DC Sports bars are adjustable, they are easy to install, but Spoon Sports bars are not adjustable. Does it matter? Also, according to http://www.spoonsports.us/catalog/civic/body.htm, "Installation can be completed easily and simply involves moving the air-conditioner hose by a slight degree." Does that apply to 1996-2000 Civics?

2 - Can you please post pictures of Spoon Sports bars installed on a 1996-2000 Civic?

Thank you very much.

easy to install, they go over the actual bolts on your shocks...spoon's bars have some play in them, they are not stiff, but have a adjustable joint

i dont have a pic sorry, but that link you sent the yellow body looks like either a JDM civic type R or JDM integra type R so thats how yours would look like

spoon = overpriced...imo...plus you wont really get much out of strut bars from what I have read/heard

spoon bars look like cheap ebay pieces, wit the exception of the spoon logo on the bracket. go with either skunk2s, neuspeed, or carbrings.

every strut is easy to install. the carbring car just need a bit of drillin for that third brace.

spoon bars are rigid...but not worth the price. i'd rather get the GSR/Si OEM strut bar.

eBay ones = :down: I had an eBay one, it was a piece of crap.
