What company was the floor bar made from?? FEED?? Ebay??? Something else???

 

haha, i wanna see how it went in, i got the cheap one off ebay, it had really crappy directions, just a drawing of where its suposed to go in the car, pretty much an obvious thing but the bar also seemed kinda long, i didnt really take that much time to work on it cause i was busy while i was home tho, however my cusco front and rear strut bars fit perfectly!

 

ohh, also where did you put it, cause in the back it like curves up to the htches kinda, the ebay said it just bolts onto the seatbelt bolts, but i dont have any down there cause i have the automatic seatbelts, i was thinking i might need to cut it down a little bit and put it under my boxes, pluss did you notice any preformance change?

 

performance change because of that??? NO WAY!! its a reinforcement bar thats all...

 

floor bar isnt worth the money. its better spent on a cage or roll bar

 

kinda figured, good thing i only spent like 50 bucks on it, however the cusco type os front strut brace and cusco type os-t rear strut brace did give a nice little preformance change for me, especially the nice new kei office coilovers i got myself for christmas, lol.

 

how much did the kei office coilover run you? i've been looking into getting a set of their D1 spec coilovers...

 

i got my set of type XR coilovers used but in very good condition for about $505, very nice coilovers, i am happy with them.

 

did u get those from ebay...i was bidding on a set too

 

haha, no i got them out in japan at a place called up garage, really really cheap used preformance parts, that place is great

 

oohh **** hahah i forgot i made this thread!!!! haha i got the ebay one hella shitty directions haha, ill post pics of it

 

Stop buying that CRAP from eBay!

What the hell is a floor bar?
It sounds about as usfull as an FC rear strut tower bar.

 

I woudl say a rear strut bar is somewhat useful, that is unless its the cp racing one.

 

Thats more of a subjective opinion. You can build one for $15

Even though there aren't any struts in the rear?

 

huh????????????????????

Check your car again...

 

HA!
I promise you there are no side loads transmitted to the top of the shock tower under any conditions except a side impact collision.
FC:
front: strut
rear: multi-link

 

There's a big difference between what I made and a floor bar. Look at Corksport's site for a picture of a FEED floor bar. It goes along the floor behind the seats with arms sticking out on either side, sota like an anti-roll bar for the body.

As for the rear shock brace, it's debatable how effective it is. While there's no direct side loading from the shocks, there's still suspension loads being transkitted to the body at those points and it should at very least help stiffen the chassis. If you have the money and want one then do it, if no then don't that's all there is to it. The fact is no-one that I know of has any proof one way or another wheter it actually improves anything.

Think about it, the FD is a shock front suspension, yet they put a front shock tower brace on the R1 and R2 models. They wouldn't have done it if it's not useful.
