Default gsr bar on my hatch

today i installed a 94 GSR front upper strut bar on my 95 civic hatch. and i was wondering if anyone else has done the same mod to their car, and if you have any pics so i can compare my work. thanks
jeff.

Hey... what a great idea... both a upper front strut bar and a OEM like strut bar together. Is it that much stiffer now?

The OEM bars don't actually connect to the suspension strut tops. Instead, there's a place on the chassis for it to bolt to. I wonder how both bars compare to a single 4 point Neuspeed.

I had the GSR bar on my hatchback. I liked it because it was stealthy

your installation is correct.


i had to reverse mine and cut the sides of the bar to clear my koni shock towers.

due to the fact that im not running any sway bars, the dual strut bars actually stiffened up the front and caused more understeer. not exactly what i was looking for...but it is good to know that it is working. i will be trying to even things out with a lower rear sway bar.
