Default strut bars ? and window problem

well my front passenger window goes up real slow when i need to put it up i have to play with it can someone help me thank you?? How hard is it to install upper strut bars and lower bar and the c-pillar ( the one that goes behind the seatis it worth it putting all of them. And what about the one in the trunk.

Upper strut bars are extremely easy to install. Just remove the bolts, add on the strut bar and put the bolts back on

Yeah, as the previous poster mentioned, the strut bar is extremely easy to install. I think it took all of 10 minutes to install mine.

I have the same problem with my drivers side window in my car (96 accord ex) and I understand that it's a common problem. I have been told (two things) that it's the relay and that it's the actuator (sp?). I don't imagine that it's a super easy thing to replace given that it's inside of the door, but it's also not a transmission rebuild.

I didn't notice any difference with my strut bar install either and I have the neuspeed 1 piece bar. I noticed a huge difference with my new rear sway bar. Maybe I would've noticed a difference if I would've installed the strut bar first and then the rear sway bar? :dunno:

I got my front upper first, then the TL-S Rear. I dunno if order would have made a difference either.

On our cars I think that the handling threshold where you'll feel a difference in a upper front strut bar is pretty high. You have to be pushing the car somewhat near it's limits to feel a difference. But when you can buy a TL-S bar for $40-50, why not, so I have one on my 6th gen.

You'll feel more of a difference in handling by adding a thicker rear sway bar.
