Default Lower Strut Tie Bars

I saw on ebay Front and Rear lower strut tie bars. But where do they go and mount on? Nothing like this is mentioned in my Haynes Xtreme Civic manuals. Anyone got pics of theirs? Did it improve handling?

Does it get in the way of any aftermarket sway bars? [Or anything else?]

Default RE: Lower Strut Tie Bars

they mount onto the front/rear subframes on the ends of the lower control arms.

front lower tie bar. its the polished bar going under the exhaust. just take that bolt out, put the bar up, and put the bolt back on. real easy, takes just a few mins..

^that bar is the Beaks rear lower tie bar, specifically made to work with the Beaks subframe brace kit. some rear swaybar kits may not allow for the use of certain tie bars, others will work fine with most tie bars. do ur research on the products, not very hard to figure out what'll work and what wont.
