What is this, the Pinoy channel? Lol, just teasing you guys! I have quite a few Filipino friends all over the L.A. area and have picked up on some of the culture (which is what is awesome about L.A., a great mix of all types of people). Don't know if you guys listen to underground hip hop but there's a tight group called "Native Guns" that are two Pinoy guys, one of which I knew since I was like 12 years old (Kiwi). Check them out!

Oh, and back on topic, if you guys have any info on the goods for our cars, hit me up!

Megan Racing: Front lower H-Brace, Rear Lower Tie (1-Piece!) REVIEW

vtecharry · 11-24-2006, 02:35 PM

I wonder how much that H-brace weighs. It's aluminum so it can't be that heavy..

slimjim8481 · 12-14-2006, 07:07 PM

I ordered the front and rear bars the ship weight for both only was 6 lbs. I would estimate that the front bar weighs about 3 0r 4 lbs at most.

SiRyan · 12-14-2006, 07:09 PM

Did you get them from ebay? Are they real Megans?

lowerlevel · 12-14-2006, 09:42 PM

i just installed the brace in question today.. i have to say it did improve overall handling.. mods to date are front and rear si sways, ebay under brace lol, short throw shifter, and progress sway "back order lol".. i vote yes to installing the brace although now i need some sticky tires and coilovers..more to come

he ordered them from me, and yes, they are the real megan's.

Shglbmx: Does the rear lower Megan tie bar come in different colors? Why are you charging $14.95 for shipping on a ~2-3lb item? Where are you shipping from? My zip is 12553.

Installed it last week.
Makes the car feel more "solid". I have not really had a chance to really drive the car through some twisties though...
Simple install though...

It looks very similar to the H-bar produced by Summit (Taiwan) except for the colour. Summit bar is orangy in colour.

Summit produces 2 varient of H-bar for the 8th gen civic - one for those with R18 engine and another for those with K20Z engines. The H-bar for civics with K20Z engine has slightly curved cross bar to clear the cat located at the underside of the car. The cat for civics with R18 engine is located in the engine compartment (immediately after the header), so the H-bar for it has a straight cross bar.

I got my Summit H-bar for about USD 150, incl installation.

Did you feel a difference after you installed it too? Does the car feel tighter? Does it handle better at all, or is the torque steer reduced, gone? Please describe the car's characteristics after the install or if anything changed.

use the search function at the top and search for "megan h-brace". i'm sure you'll find 2,3,4 reviews somewhere.

I felt a difference. Mostly the car feels more "solid" for lack of a better word. When driving slowly over a speed bump or something similar, I don't notice as much noise from interior panels shifting - which I think translates to less frame flex.
Also, when driving at freeway speeds, it definitely feels more planted. This may just be my imagination. I will have to drive my neighbor's si to see if there truly is a difference, or if my imagination is trying to save me from thinking I wasted $60...
Either way, it looks cool...
