DC Sports CSB3022 Honda Accord Carbon Steel Front Strut Bar, Gunmetal

Let me start of by saying that this definitely improves cornering characteristics and there is a definite and very noticeable improvement in both high and low speed turning as well as reduction of body roll. I have a 2003 V6 Accord Coupe EX-L Auto and it fit perfectly. It actually allows you to keep the existing Strut supports and this bolts right above them onto the 3 bolts on each strut. It took me less time to install than it took to find my socket set. Total installation time was about 5 minutes. There really isn't much to it other than removing the 6 strut bolts, placing the DC Strut support over the bolts and tightening it all back up. I did find that a long socket works best for the two outer nuts on either side and a short socket is required for the bolt underneath the strut bar. I torqued them down as much as I could by hand and should be sufficient. I also found it necessary to remove the fuse box cover in order to tighten the driver-side nut located under the strut bar. I immediately took it out for a spin and noticed stiffer more-connected steering (if that makes any sense.) I took some sharp turns at 25-30mph to test and there was way less body roll and the suspension felt much stiffer. I also noticed less noise coming from my original 2003 struts (pretty worn out and probably needing replacement.) I then took it out on the highway around some ramps with decent turns and noticed much improved steering as well. Overall, it is an excellent purchase which will greatly improve turning and over-all ride quality on the 7th Gen Accords.

Love this stabilizing bar! Looks good, looks great, looks tuff, AND it actually does what it claims too.... STABILIZE your car's front end! Total night and day as far as handling! Less wondering and sticks nicely in the curves/corners! Good stuff here folks!

Item came bent at one of the mounting bracket, nothing a little straightening and later welding can't fix if need be. Pretty straight forward to install, fits well, looks good and has increased the performance or cornering and handling.

Installed into my 2007 Accord V6 6MT in about 20 minutes. Will touch the OEM bar on the left side for about an inch, I just loosened up the 2 bolts each side of the factory bar (only on the 6 speed) and placed this one on the 3 intended for it. Tightened up left side, then right, left, then right, to ensure that it would tighten down properly. It did, drove it afterwards, no clunks or any sign at all of anything wrong, which I didn't expect in the first place. Looks great under the hood too, not bright or flashy, but like it belongs there.

This product was on eBay but never in stock, very happy to find it on here. Arrived wrapped in a thick plastic bag in a box, gun metal gray. I painted mine white and hit it with a few coats of clear gloss to give it that candied look; paint took really well to it and the installation was a breeze after removing the 3 top strut bolts on each side, adds a good aesthetic to the engine bay and really stiffened up the front end on my 7th Gen Accord. This mod will definitely make your car a LOT stiffer in the front. This will make cornering easier but TAKE TIME TO READJUST TO YOUR CAR AFTER INSTALLING. Your car WILL BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY WHEN CORNERING after this mod. For the price, look, the way this thing performs and took paint, SOLID 10/10 purchase.

Snapped a ball joint in 05 accord and slapped this in with a front end rebuild. No fitment issues, decal can be easily removed with a drill

I was really close to repackaging for to return the strut bar since it wasn’t lining up correctly. I took the chance and ended up having to use a rubber mallet to get the plate on to the bolts. Once I did that it was snuggly on there thankfully. I’m currently on the Tien SS damper kit and with this bar being installed I definitely feel the front more stable. It feels more planted for sure so it’s definitely a solid piece.

Easy installation, solid brace, only took me about 5-10 minutes to install the whole thing. Immediately noticed a change in my 2004 accord ex 4door, it didn't feel like I was a driving an unsafe boat with wheels, I can take turns going 25 easily, switch lanes with ease, and it just feel much more solid as a car, all accords should come standard with a strut bar for safety reasons almost.
