J's Racing Rear Strut Bar & C-Pillar Bar (DIY included)
 

I ordered my bars directly from one of the U.S. J's Racing Distributor : Performance Parts International (PPI for short). They are a great company to get J's Racing products from. My bars came straight from Japan to my door in 5 days after i placed my order!!!

Here is their contact info for anyone else who wants to get these bars:
J's Racing - The Extreme Honda Ride

On a side note, the J's Racing Front strut bar will NOT fit any LHD versions of our cars, so Cusco will be the choice since they have made a front strut bar for LHD GE's


For the Rear Strut Bar install, I followed Ash Panda's DIY for the rear Cusco Strut Bar: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...r-bar-ge8.html

Thank You AshPanda!!!

J's Racing C-Pillar Bar
This is my 1st time doing a DIY so bear with me:

Tools: 14mm & 16mm Sockets, 9mm Allen Wrench


Remove the cover of the rear seat belt on each side to expose this bolt (14mm):

Unbolt the seatbelt and remove bolt. You will reuse the 2 washers(black & sliver) which are the top side of the seatbelt bracket:

The C-Pillar Bar will come w/ 2 new bolts (16mm) which you will now use in conjuction w/ the black & silver washers from the orginal (14mm) bolt:

Unbolt the C-Pillar Bar Brackets from the bar and install w/ seatbelt bracket & new the bolts (16mm) from J's:

Mount & lightly bolt down the brackets and install the bar like so:

Once bar is installed tighten down all bolts (16mm for seatbelt, 9mm allen wrench & 14mm for the bolts on the bar):

nice... really sucks that the strut bars they made were for RHD cars only... guys here in our country are also looking forward to the LHD version, which i hope they eventually make...

me too, i'll be going home in december do u know of any dealers in manila where i can get parts like side mirrors and etc.

are the side mirrors power folding???

i was wondering if your are able to set the rear seats back to its furthest setting?

^ you will not be able to anymore

still use rear seat belts with c pillar bar?

good thread. subscribed :)

yup works perfect

and also a great way to injure your passengers...in most states once rear bars are installed it becomes illegal for anyone to ride in the back seat...might want to check that out.

thx for the info about j's Front strut bar doesn't work on LHD

I was planning to get that for my GE

now have to rethink!!!

any good brand out there for GE Front strut bar???

will be getting C pillar for sure....rear strut have to think about b/c don't want to waste my truck space if I have to move big stuff!!!!

thx again

quick question y woulnd't the front strut bar fit on LHD GE???

from the look at their pix, the engine placement looks actually the same as ours GE

all steering components, and reservoirs are on the opposite side (which get in the way). the engine placement is the same

oh.....I guess cusco tower bar then!!!!
