Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tires - BomzRacing bars

well i've had my BomzRacing front/rear upper strut bars and front/rear lower tie bars for about 7 months and c-pillar bar for about a week now. i figured its about time to write a review on these.

Product: BomzRacing upper strut, lower tie, and c-pillar bars
Distributor: Ebay(more specifically the seller was: bestcarpart)
Vehicle: 1992-1995 Honda Civic all models
Cost: All together about $115.00 shipped
Installation: very simple and anyone who can use a socket wrench could install them.
Installation Time: upper strut bars only took about 15mins or so to install both. lower tie bars took about 1-2 hours since u have to jack up the car and take some other precautions(highly suggest help from peers with these). c-pillar bar took about 20mins(could be done faster with an extra hand)
Review: It was deffinitly worth every penny. I've been riding on 11 year old stock suspension and when i installed these bars i notice a dramatic difference in handling in a very positive way. taking turns went from harsh and slow to smooth, fast and easy. BomzRacing seems to be one of the few reliable companies that are on ebay and evey bar fit perfectly and was very cheap in price. If you dont care much about brand name bars or looks that cost way to much yet want that same great handling they offer, these are the bars for you. Im not saying they look bad, as you can see for ur self, they just dont have the DC, neuspeed, etc. logos on it...

also note these are just for the 5th generation civics, they also offer the same bars for other generations which are pretty much the same, maybe a little different size or shape but still get the job done.

here some pics:

i figure these pictures will also help answer many questions on where and how they are installed because i know i had a bunch of questions on where the bolts were located before i purchased them.

hope i help!:)

Ive been thinking about picking up some bars for my civvy. Until your post I wasnt sure where they all went and how muhc of a difference they made. Ill defiently be checking them out further. Thanks for the post.

my friend got one of the rear lower ones havent rode in his car yet but looks really sweet driving down the road

i took your advise and i bought some for the wifes civic im working on, and the pics helped a great deal, wasnt sure where the ones under the car attached too. its a great help man thank you

Thank you so much for this! I'm considering putting off coilovers in favor of as many bars as I can fit on the poor civic ;) I was worried cause I didn't know where the lower ones went. Thanks again!

glad i could help:D.

i like this, probably my next major purchase.

thanks for the post and pics. ^_^

Wow, looks like a great deal for 115.

was a good deal. still got all them bars in and am still very happy:D. and like i said before, if u drive ppl around alot and stuff then c-pillar might not be a good thing. BUT, u can always take it out for street use and put it back in for racing since its just 2 lil bolts and takes such little time to install. my friends always hit their heads on it and it is a saftey issue cuz if u get hit, the whiplash will nail their heads into the bar...but i dont drive ppl around anymore so its all good.

heres a better pic of the front lower tie bar.

Thanks for posting this! I was seconds away from getting f&r sway bars at over 3x's the cost (have to get the lca for front and rear).

Does anyone know the difference in handling between the 2 setups (swaybars versus these bars)? I would assumetogether would increase handling characteristics even further.

sway bars affect the suspension and the suspension travel

his setup with all of the bars just keeps the body and frame components from flexingtoo much, which therefore makes the suspension do the work, instead of the body, which overall makes the handling more crisp and more firm.

What does the C-Pillar connect too? I can't see in the picts very well and I can't think of a place either.

c pillar bar connects to the two rear seat belt connectors, it keeps the upper portion of your car from twisting and flexing.

Any chance you can get one for a 6th gen? I wouldn't think so because the top of the rear seat belts are hidden under a panel. Now that I think about it I think you can only get one for the B pillar in a 6th gen, very inconventient to get in the back in a 2 door ek.
