Default 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!

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!

was a good deal. still got all them bars in and am still very happy. 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.
