c pillar bar

krazeeazian04 · c pillar bar

anyone know if the EM racing c pillar bar for the 89-91 hatch will work in the sedan? i was looking thru some pictures i saw a member jinxd had one.

I am tempted to try, but I'm not sure.

I test fitted a ef hatch c pillar bar on my sedan and it looks like it will work. I used a Teknotik c pillar bar for a ef/ed hatch.

sweet. lemme kno how it goes. is the Teknotik c pillar bar similar to the em racing? cause im thinking about taking out the back seats and getting the whole triangulation kit.

This has gone too far........the hatch has a much larger opening in the rear, and the hatch only attaches in 3 places, two hinges at the top and a latch hook at the bottom, nothing on the sides.

Our sedan has a rear window, glued in, therefore attached on ALL sides. and our rear dashboard stiffens up the rear.

In conclusion, if there was enough body flex to justify using a c pillar brace in a sedan, then we would break the rear windows in our cars every time we take a corner hard, or hit a big bump/pothole while cornering.

Get front and rear upper strut bars that are reasonably stiff, like skunk2, DC, Password JDM being a 3 point, obviously superior, and even megan racing look pretty good.

And get lowers if you feel they will do something even though theres already a piece of high strength steel in the exact same location, engineered to support in the direction of road force.

My 2 cents because some marketing people have obviously gotten to you.

Take a look at this too, http://efcivicsedan.myfreeforum.org/sutra5120.php#5120

Already have the password rear upper. with a custom x brace. cusco front tower bar, Suspension Techniques sway bars, DC Rear Tie Bar, Blox Lower control arms and Energy suspension bushing kit. so chill. Like I said. I've seen pictures of cars with them. I wanted to know how they did it. Not have you give me a lecture on what it would do.

Sorry, I didn't know that the want was for looks.

I am an ASE master technician, and at my school, i have done a lot of fabrication. Testing, and we also autocross twice a month. We also setup a 300 foot circle. and i can say, your setup is almost identical to mine, withe the exception of that i have function 7 lca's and skunk2 camber kits front and rear. Energy suspension trailing arm bushings
ETD traction bars and my strut bars are different.

I have helped build a lotus super 7 clone, from scratch, and i have driven some pretty amazing cars, such as 2007 porshe 911 turbo, 99 Nsx. And ridden in the new 2008 Audi R8.

So if you have the stock rear upper control arms, those have rubber bushings, and the trailing arm bushings allow a little flex, but if you want it any stiffer than you have now, you need a roll cage.

Just my 2 cents, take it or leave it

Np man. I also have the skunk 2 camber kit in the rear. and I just got the new adjustable skunk 2 a arm camber kit for the fronts to replace my ingalls. I would have got the F7 LCAs they are awesome! Just a little too far out of my budget.

I too have helped build some awesome cars. I'm no ASE tech but alot of my friends are. I have a few friends that Are BMW techs and one that used to work for Ralliart. I've helped Build some of my friends cars. 500hp Talon with a 6 Bolt swap. My friends 92 Nsx with a full Comptech catalogue. Sti's, Evos, Volvos, Bmws, Hondas Etc.. I guess you can say it isn't even really a hobbie but more of a passion and enthusiasm for cars.

I too am also lookin at setting up my car for autocross. I need a motor though cause the D series is kinda on its last putts now. I was thinking about a roll cage but i figured it wouldnt be too functional because the car is daily driven.

Regardless you opinions and insight are appreciated. Just try not to sound like your pissed off that not everyone thinks like you. It's cool man. We all in it together. Very Happy
