Rear upper strut
Hey, I havent been on in a while, but to my question. I have a mugen "style" upper front strut in my teg and i was wondering if they even made a mugen "style" rear upper strut. If they do, where could i get one? Or if mugen isnt the best in struts who is? and where could i get them.
thanks
thanks

there is no mugen copy to the rear, really
the front copy is sh*tty as well imo
i had the real one, and it was all welded with no movable joints, unlike the copy
but any rear would do, cuz those are usually just straight bars

Though, I'd like to point out that in an integra, you will get much more significant handling upgrades from a rear lower tie bar and a rear sway bar than an upper tower bar, mainly cause the placement of the rear UCAs is so low.
Upper tie bars do help, but it cuts badly into your cargo room and, dammit, don't buy cheap ebay shit when it comes to your suspension. If you wanna get a cheap ebay muffler or intake, fine, but your life and the lives of other depend on your suspension handling properly...

getting cheap bars won't really hurt anyone... u just probably shouldn't depend on them as much as a quality bar, unless u know that the bar is really good. suspensionwise, i say those ebay bars are alright, but the springs and stuff are things i wouldn't really trust. and those ebay mufflers can kill your ears.
