Excellent build quality, nice finish, good design.

The brackets that fit on the top of the shock assembly could fit a little better, you lose a good deal of paint when you tighten them down.

The bar construction is of very high quality. The design for the Civic chassis has some "preload" built into it and it actually ties the top of the struts together (instead of the factory location which is a little higher up). This bar made a huge difference. Feedback through the steering wheel was improved greatly and steering response was improved as well. The bar was installed with KONI shocks and Eibach Sportline springs. I tried installing the bar on my new car, 2001 Integra Type R. Both cars ride on the same platform so it fit with the exception of the valve cover breather hose (the 1.8L engine must be a little taller than the 1.6L). The bar wouldn''t clear this hose. Regretably had to take the bar off.
