Front Tower Strut for GE8

Anyone has any information where we can buy/order a front tower strut bar for our GE8? TIA.

its a worthless mod unless it is a one-piece strut tower bar.

i'd invest on some better sway bar front or rear and some polyurethane bushings.
this is coming of a function > form approach and i dont mean to offend or upset anyone. just my IMO though

You are absolutely right. I just want the front strut tower bar for show.
Thicker front & rear sway bars are in my short list too. Polyurethane bushings are great to tighten up the suspension, but unfortunately it does deteriorate the ride and transmit road noise & vibration too much to my liking.

Appreciate your suggestions though. Thanks.

yeah i do agreed with the road noise and comfort it does get stiffy and squeaky from time to time when i had them in my RSX.

i wish that they make a CUSCO Ti one-piece strut bar for the GE8.
They are full titanium and weighs absurdly light

Would like to get one before I have my wheel alignment done.

IMO after so many autocross & lapping events in the Fit, If you have a nice set of suspension you don't really need sway bar on this car. If you REALLY REALLY want one u can get the front ones.

Don't bother with the rear ones.

thanks bro,
I think I will skip the front sway bar idea.
I got wider wheels now 205/40/17
should handle a little better than the OEM wheels, right?
