Only one strut bar was made for the 90-93 Integra chassis which always only fit only Non-ABS models. Don’t believe check Neuspeed’s site. I’ve been in the scene long enough to know that.
Check the bar I personally sold on here. Same bends as the one I linked to before.

holes all looked to line up correctly except for my ABS reservoir being in the way, so yes I mocked it up. Wouldn’t have suggested to the OP to come here if it didn’t.
I think the OP had it on an EK (could be wrong), but I have seen this same bar on other DA’s as well, including in build threads on this site
That other bar posted above looks to be the ABS friendly version I have been looking for that requires removal of a bracket to fit.
Bar doesn’t fit, easily half foot too short to reach side to side. The way I see it…OP mans up and comes clean on what this is supposed to mount to so I can re-sell it…or I file a claim with pay pal.
Your choice, you have till end of day. Either way, to everyone else, don’t buy anything from OP if you are smart.
My shady transaction cherry has officially been popped.
djzachtyler, search Neuspeed and show me a bar that will fit a DA with ABS? There is only ONE bar that Neuspeed made for our car which fits non-abs DAs only… Ask anyone and they will tell you the same.
da6YO, sorry for not seeing the differences sooner and for you to go through this. I tried finding what car that bar is for but haven’t found any bars that look exactly like it.
I have been looking to, and I’m pretty sure this doesn’t go to a honda. EK bar looks nothing like that, and the EF bar looks like the one the listed for the DA.
And TegFan is right, website says it all. I should have crossed check before hand. Live and learn. At this point I just want to know what it goes to.
I’ll get a pic on how short it is. I’m about to send a pic to Neuspeed and see if they can help me.
Well, if it was on an EK, then that would be the problem. All the bars Neuspeed makes look similar but they are different shapes/sizes for different cars. An EK strut bar won’t fit on a DA…
For sure not an EK bar. Whatever this thing goes to…it is very narrow side to side. I’ve checked all Hondas on the neuspeed website and none seem to match. Wouldn’t a EF be more narrow? I don’t know anyone with an EF to check this although I doubt that’s the case.
The weird thing is that the bar would fit if it was long enough.
I suggest you don’t listen to djzachtyler’s claims cause he,
didn’t actually put the bar on but thinks it LOOKED like it did, so he can’t 100% say it will fit (and yet he claims “it will fit, I am positive…”).
does not know what an actual DA/CRX Neuspeed bar looks like.
thinks Neuspeed made a ABS DA strut bar.
has never owned a DA/CRX Neuspeed bar.
On the other hand… This bar MIGHT belong to a older VW. Can’t really find anything…
Edit: Some say you have to jack up the front of car in the middle to relieve tension to fit a Neuspeed bar but for yours yes, “It won’t fit, I am positive”.
[QUOTE=da6YO;2272861]Wouldn’t a EF be more narrow?
[/QUOTE]
EF and DA are based off the same design, so you can’t usually make any assumptions like that. Often dimensions like that are identical, often they’re different. For instance, the Neuspeed front strut bars for EF/DA are exactly the same (yes, same part number), however another structural part, the Full Race crossmemeber, is a different length for the EF and DA.
I can’t say for sure cause I’ve never personally swapped one onto a CRX… but I find this a little hard to believe. Neuspeed’s website says they’re the same. How close is it to fitting? These bars fit tight and you gotta man handle it a bit. And, if the car is on jackstands don’t even bother trying to get it to fit, when up on stands the front end is flexing so much that the bar likely won’t fit properly. The margins are slim for fitment on these bars.
The bar I sold (link posted above) was from a crx owner. I later used it on mine and then sold it on here to a fellow DA owner with no complaints. So I’m with Colin.
Well squash that then, this is agitating to say the least. Still waiting for Neuspeed to get back to be as I am sure that’s the only chance I have to figure it out.
OP said he would refund my money and told me to keep the bar. I offered to ship it back, but we will see what happens.
The only bar I have found that kind of looks the same is one for a 01 Civic, but the end points where it bolts down looks different. Gonna try to line it up on someones car at work and see.
We have only 3 strut braces with curved rear feet similar to the ones in your pic but our bars do not even come close to the same shape plus our holes are round not slotted. Sorry but do not think that is one of our strut braces."
