C-Pillar bar doesn't due anything for the suspension. All it does is pretty much reduce hatch creak.

BTW, that pic makes me miss my Integra a lot

 

The old saying goes with pretty much anything: "Your setup is as good as your weakest component."

The C-pillar bar will reduce chassis flex a lot, which I'm sure the 2-door hatches suffer from pretty significantly given the wide open space, noticeable or not.

It may not be noticeable in daily driving though.

 

yeah ill admit that i didn't feel any difference when i installed it. I guess i was going for the looks on this purchase h:

 

i wanted it for the look and if it did anything performance then good deal.
Hatch Creek.......cant remember but it seems like it creeks more with that in.....although, mabye its just noticeable now that my rear seat are out getting done up

 

i'm sure most everyone agrees that this mod is mostly show.

those that think otherwise i've noticed always explain it away with platitudes..

"hey man, it reduces flex!"
"your suspension is only as strong as your weakest link!"
etc..

all of that means nothing without any solid physical explanations..
i.e.
- how so-called top-end flex is a detriment to handling..
- how much flex does the top-end really have..
- how much of a difference does it make in tightening the top-end..
- what impact does that have on the handling.. how..
etc..

btw, rugsr, i've heard before about that thing causing more squeaks..

 

http://emracing.com/formula.html that gives you a nice explination on how these bars work.

 

YEA, If u play the video and listen carfully you can hear it. the vibrations is the camera but when i do that UTurn you can hear it for a quick second

 

is there a way to connect the 2 seperate bars with another one........or better off getting a full one?

 

you need to purchase em racing's cpillar and strut bar to connect them with the middle bar. i haven't seen any other bars on the market that can do that yet except theirs so far.

 

never heard of them
