hey i am wondering, is it easy to make and fit a front strut bar on my 5thg civic sedan and does it really make a difference when driving normally (not on the track) and does any one have and instructions with pics or any sites on how to make one.

thanks

Front strut bar install is easy as cake. You just bolt it on. It will make a bit of a difference sine it will stiffen up the front end a bit, but I'm not sure you'll like it a whole lot. Stiffening up the front creates more understeer. Something a FWD car doesn't need anymore of. I think you'd be happier with stiffening up the rear, that's if you're into any type of hardcore driving...autox, roadracing etc.

I love having a strut bar up front, I didn't notice TOO much understeer.. seemed like it handled even better though :dunno:. But GScivic7 is right, the rear ones are great for bringing the ass around.

do u guys know where si the rear strutt on the boot of a sedan 5th gen civic. and also any links on making one. and what type of metal. so i have to get just sum type of metal bar which is strong enough or what

You have to strip your trunk to get to it. Just take out all the carpet and you should be able to find it. As for making one, I don't have a clue.

Strut bars don't do shit for understeer and over steer.

Sway bars are what provide or decrease both. running a rear sway bar alone will help bring the ass end around (oversteer), if you run a matched set front and rear you should have a nice neutral feel, and a front one by itself, you'll have a hell of a time taking turns (understeer).

i read some where a guy went to Home Depot and got aluminum bar and made a front strut bar with it.
