the rear bar in the Accord is most beneficial because of the wide open space in the trunk area. In the front of the car, there is very little need for chasis brace, since the engine is there, and in a way, the mounts serve as partial frame braces. It certainly helps to have the front, but the rear is likely going to net the most improvement over stock.

However, if someone could get a 3 pt bar, then that'd probably help tremendously, imho. I did see someone on hs that had made one, and was thinking about producing some for the accord.

I have a DC which is ok but after driving my buddies ride with a Neuspeed I seriously would go with a Neuspeed next time...or one of AccordHybrids homemade ones.

Am glad you said that, because I have been noticing that the DC Strut Bars have been a lot more expensive than Neuspeed's... Do you have and idea as to why the Neuspeed is out performing your DC? Weight? Setup?
