[arthaccord]

does it and if it does does it make a big enough diffrence to buy one insted of a three peice

[H23Accord]

Yes....and yes.

[Lo_Key]

I noticed nice differences with mine.

[delart]

neuspeed or custom fabbed gets my vote

What bars were in your comparison?

[Accord13&BA4]

The 3 piece that connects to the firewall is highly suggested and it really does "firm" up the front end of the car. I think Neuspeed makes them...do they really for the Cb7 Accord? wow if they do!

The one piece, make sure that is adjustable, other wise it's all for show and merely engine bay, "bling-bling..."

the ones that connect to the firewall are custom fabed if i remember correctly

How can one piece be adjustable?

that's not quite what i've heard but sure. the neuspeed one piece i've heard is very nice and helps a lot and by no means represents a lot of bling bling.

well think of it this way what is going to be stronger and have less flex to it a solid beice of aluminum or a 3 pieces held together by bolts. and second of the only strut bars that are adjustible are cheap ebay ones because they make the strut bar as a direct fit application. the ones on ebay are adustibl so they can make one and market it as a strut bar for all hondas.

It's bling-bling for gearheads that get it.

One piece, such as the Neuspeed bar (incompatible with DOHC swaps, sadly) are significantly better than the multi-piece adjustible bars.

Your best bet is a strong one-piece bar with multiple mounting points... Neuspeed mounts twice to the shock tower. There are others (usually custom) that mount to the firewall.

Second best is a strong, rigid, multi-piece, like DC Sports. My Megan Racing bar is identical to the DC model, looks nice, and is MUCH cheaper! Look into that if you're strapped for cash.

Third best... and the TRUE looks-only bar, is the cheap-o flexi bar... Basically, if you can buy it brand new, and not on sale, for less than $50... it's crap. I had a "Tuned by Matrix" bar in my car that my girl bought me. Yeah, it bent. That's the bling-only bar. You'll get more performance from a carbon fiber gas door.

[4dooraccord]
