I’ve had my car for almost 3 months now. And ive been lookin for a strut bar for the front. Now its a pain b/c i have a 92 GS and it has ABS. But i just realized this weekend that the previous owner had a strut bar in the car, but he took out bar but left the base/stand still bolted in. So basicly i just have the base/stand still there. Can i just look for any strut bar for a 90-93 integra and just take the bar itself and put it on the base/stand i already have in there? The yellow circle is what was left in the car and the black thing u see is where the ABS sits.
no you can’t just take any bar for 90-93 and put it in. certain bars have different style mounting brackets, and the bar will be bent a different way.
SEARCH. bars that fit abs have been covered before…alot.
if your gonna get a new bar that fits abs anyways, why not just use the brackets that come with it? :shrug:
and i highly doubt your abs unit sits before the mounting brackets for the tower brace…unless your talking about the fuse box…
ditto on that different bars mount different are shaped different and whatnot and it would probably be harder to find a bar without the brackets than one with
it says ABS on it. I was asking if i could take a non-ABS fitting bar to fit the base/stand of my car.
and as i said, you can’t take any bar and put it on an abs equiped car. some won’t clear the abs unit, some will but will run into issues with the dashpot valve(if present).
btw: my abs unit(shown in orange) sits after, not before as illustrated in your diagram, the mounting point for the strut bar bracket(blue).
fuse box also says abs on it as well…
greddy/trust strut bar… that white reservoir on the top of the picture is your abs… the black plastic is your fusebox… it might have a label for ABS fuse on it… or… :giggle: may be made of ABS PLASTIC… hehehe
XtReMe98: thanks for the better up close picture. hopefully he now sees that the abs unit sits after(to the right) the tower brace mounting bracket, and the fuse box is located before(or to the left) of the bracket.
edit: i think the fuse box is made out of abs plastic hehe
i wanted to check… but it’s raining here and i dont feel like getting wet heh
go to home depot, get a 1" pipe, drill holes in the ends, and mount it to that existing bracket with some bolts. at worst you may have to dremel or pound the ends flatter. or something…
its too bad greddy discontinued the bar…i have been looking everywhere, no one has them :mad:
i’ve seen some replicas on ebay now 'n then…
try searching for strut bar abs or tower bar abs integra and see if it comes up
also you can try looking for ones to fit a 98 civic (the greddy fit on my sisters fine…)
might wanna check ur brake fluid… its a little low :)… dont wanna be leakin and not know it
You’re right, the Greddy (aka Trust) was one of the few strut bars that cleared the ABS… I was lucky enuff to pickup a Trust when they first came out; they’re very hard to find nowadays.
oddly, that greddy/trust is identical to my cusco too, which i just sold for 40bucks. the brackets are dark blue and it has the cusco sticker in the middle…
Yea… thats an old old pic… i’ve since topped it off heh… but thanks for noticing…
You laugh, but some kid on T-I asked that exact question the other day because he saw “ABS” behind the steering wheel cap he thought his car had ALB/ABS. :loser:
i only laugh because i know thats probably the case…
