Hey guys. Just got my rear upper strut for my 5th gen. Anyone have pics of theres in the whip that I can see how you cut out the sides and how far back it sits???

just remove the plastic covering and place the brackets on the strut towers. you'll get an idea from that so you can cut the holes. it's very easy.

sorry no pics.

I here a lot of people say the if your strut bars are not neuspeed or DC sport they are crap. I got mine from speedpeople and ebay and there was a noticable difference with the frot upper, but not really with the rear lower. hope fully when this one come in the mail and i get the ST sway bar they will work together to make a sweet suspension setup.

i have a cheap STBs F/R i paid $40 shipped for each for them off groubuycenter along time ago. i have no problems with them and they do stiffen things up. i can't justify the cost of neuspeed since i don't autocross. dc is actually crap due to the holes drilled in it. i have the ST rear sway bar too, it's sweet.

i'll post pics of my rear strut bar install :naughty: if you can answer my question:

can you run a rear lower control arm brace AND a rear Suspension Techniques sway bar?

I think you can.

rear upper struts are pretty much useless I'd say, a bigger rear sway bar is what you prolly need to eleminate that understeering of FF cars.

And yes, you can install both of them since neither have any effects on the others.

a rear lower tie bar on a accord is not worth the money for 2 reasons:

1. you can't see it

2. accords are already strong in that spot.

they are good for civics since you can see it for the cool factor and that area needs stregthening when a larger rear sway bar is added.

oh well since I got them might as well use them.
