Im looking for cheap/easy ways to stiffen my ride for autox. I've been researching these c-pillar bars and was wondering what u guys think about them. do u think its worth buying it? will it make a noticable handling difference? I know that the rear passengers will prolly hit their heads on the bar but i was thinkin about putting a foam cover around it for a lil more protection, also i normally dont have more than 1 passenger so its not to big of a deal. I've read that there is no need to cutting or any modification for installation, is this true? I know that its not gena be nearly as good as one of those x-bar type things but i want something cheap. I havnt found very many good pics online for this bar, does anybody on here have one of these and/or have a good pic??

I also found those trunk bars while looking up c-pillar stuff. first time i ever heard of them or thought about putting bars there. does anyone know anything about these? all i can find are a couple pictures and whatnot. anyone know any good sites for cheap ones?

thanks!

pics for those who dont know what im talking about:

That C-pillar will definitely give your chassis some stiffening, but I would go with the trunk bar. I am getting one myself. They have those packages of 4 that include the strut tower brace, upper and lower tie bars and that trunk one. Something like this. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Strut-bar-3pc-Red-H-Lower-Arm-Brace-Civic-92-93-94-95_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33591QQitemZ80442779 39QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) Doesn't have to be that exact one, but you get the idea. There is a review of a combo like that in the review sectinon and it's a good one. I think Forty has the kit too.

i already have strut and tie bar package, got it a while ago. I think im gena get one of those c-pillar bars from ebay, they're all about $40 shipped. The cheapest set of trunk bars i found i think were $130-140 shipped, little out of my price range....anyone know any sites that are cheaper?? if not then ill prolly just put that money back into my suspension savings...
