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 Rear Strut Bar:
Driver Side Mount:
Passenger Side Mount:
Bar Installed:
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:
Driver Side:
Passenger Side:
Once bar is installed tighten down all bolts (16mm for seatbelt, 9mm allen wrench & 14mm for the bolts on the bar):
and your done!!!

are the side mirrors power folding???

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.
