theres a pic of where and what the h-brace looks like installed. from the looks of it, u cant have a front lower tie bar with it. it wont hit the ground at all even if ur car is lowered.

 

unless your thinking about getting into alot of auto x or somthing...for the money, i would just get the set of the 4 upper and lower sway bars off e-bay, really cheap for what your getting and from all the reviews they work REALLY great

 

Thanks for all the replies. Think for now im going to go with a strut and tie bar combo and if I feel the need to tighten the front suspension up some more ill get the H-brace and swap it with the front tie bar.

 

That link doesn't work for me with the picture of an installed H-brace. Anybody got a picture of one of these installed/any reviews on one?

 

Hey my name is nick and just stared the forum thing tonight and saw your question a H brace is for hanndling it will be bulted to the casy of your car under the motor i believe i was about to buy one but lost the bid they make a BIG difference in handaliing i recomend getin one cuz i know people who bought then and are hapy with it !!!!!! have a good one!!!

 

An H-brace is basically a 4-point lower tie-bar. It reduces the flex in the chassis of the car and makes the suspension handle the flexing duties, like it should. This makes the handling more predictable.

I think they're worth it because they don't cost much, they CAN imrove the handling,and they can improve the longevity of the unibody, especially if they prevent a crash due to poor handling. Also use an upper tower bar that triangulates to the firewall. With upper/lower strut bars, poly bushings,and beefy adjustable anti-swaybars, you can drastically improve the handling of your Civic without making the ride harsh.
