Hey Chris it's Dorian. I also want pics of the rear S14 bar when you get them in.

[Anand]

I NEED a rear strut bar!!

[Dano]

Unfortunately, my car is already on its way to California to have the full carbon fiber body kit put on.

If we have a customer with a S14 drive by the shop, I will give him the rear strut bar to test fit on the spot and then take pics while hes here.

If that doesn't happen today, one of my mechanics will be here on Friday and I will put them on his S14.

Take care!

I would also like to challenge this statement with this article from team-integra.net

Chassis flex hurts handling. Therefore, logically, decreasing chassis flex will improve handling. Turn in will feel better with a stiffer front end. The more stock the suspension, the less noticeable difference the bars will make. Rubber bushing deformation under load is similar to chassis flex and you would probably benefit more from replacing these with solid ones (not polyurethane, though).

[spitz7985]

Honda's suspension geometery is also subject to change depending on the height of the chassis in relation to the axle. When body roll occurs, changes in toe and camber also occur. This is okay to a degree, but when suspension travel has reached an extreme level, you can bet your suspension geometery is not where you want it to be for optimum handling performance.

I don't know about this. I know Honda uses unequal length double a-arm suspension, which is designed to gain negative camber as it compresses, which is a good thing as long as the camber gain is consistent in keeping the tire contact patch flat on the road surface. Although, stock rubber bushings allow for some deflection, changing the alignment settings in a bad way, but there's no way sway bars can help this.

Maybe stock Honda suspension reaches a point where the negative camber gain is too much/too little at extreme body roll? Anyone know about Honda suspension?

well I'm out unless you can provide some details as to how they are made or how/why they are better than the ebay strut bars...

No offence and I'll be more than glad to buy a set for my s13 however I hate to spend more on something I can get for less. (and no I'm not buying the ebay bars either)

If you have access to a welder you can buy the ebay bars and reinforce them. Just a thought....

No I sure don't but wish I did because there are a million things I could do with a welder of course that's with knowledge to go along with it

Werd. Welders = the ****. Invest in a welder, and you'll save a lot of money by doing things yourself... just a thought.

(not polyurethane, though).

why not polyyrethane? I have a few polyurathane bushing on my integra.

[spitz7985]

polyurethane are solid, they do not flex like rubber bushings do. solid bushings require lubricant so they pivot freely. polyurethane does not stay lubricated and will cause the joint to creak or even bind.

Update:

We are officially SOLD OUT! I will update this thread when we get some more from overseas. I thank everyone who has purchased them, I can assure you, you will be pleased!

Thanks!

email at [email protected] when you have STBs in stock for S14

[AnotherSRLemming]

Question: Did you e-mail people that ordered the strut bars? I sent the paypal a while ago with all the required info and never received an e-mail.

[Dano]

if your a buyer and have a camera... snap a pic and post it for the rest of us to see it!

[Gladius]

Ok, i want a set. So let us know underground.

[90N240]

lol make my own..

[underground]

Hey Guys,

We are only going to be carrying the fronts for the S14. The S14 rear bars we carry require you to remove the speaker bezel, and some customers would prefer another design.

So, from this point on, we will be carrying the

F&R for the S13, and the Front for the S14.

Thanks!

ChrisUnderground Motorsports

P.S.- We are still sold out on all of the bars, but if you would like to have us put a set for you on backorder, that will be fine.

[s13EastTN]

shipped from over seas.....as in korea?

btw I had a cheap ebay from strut bar on my honda then upgraded to a large and beefy Mugen strut bar There was a difference in turn in, but "at the limit" handling was about the same however. I'll try and post a pic of it to show you the difference.

[AnotherSRLemming]

But did you e-mail all of the people that paypaled? I would like some kind of confirmation that the strut bars are, in fact, coming.

Thanks.

[Cookdaddy]

When you have both the front and rear for the s14, email me at [email protected].

[underground]

Hey Guys,

Thanks for continuing to follow the thread.

We aren't going to be carrying a S14 rear as you really don't need one, the rear speaker frame almost serves the role.

Plus, we had to many people complaining because you had to remove the rear speaker bezel or make modifications to it.

So, we will be carrying the S13 F and R, and the S14 F.

I will post pics of the new struts as soon as they arrive. Hopefully in about a week.

Thanks!

the stb isnt on the site any more? I was gonna order the front for a s14, how much and where do I send the pay pal?

[underground]

My web guy is in the process of adding it to the catalog. It will be up this afternoon. They put up a new "Customers Page" and are moving the struts to the catalog.

Thanks!
