Rear Tie Bar
 

Does anyone know if a rear upper tie bar from a '92-'95 hatch will fit on a '98 coupe. Thanx guys.

should.

should it?

I thought the suspension was redesigned from eg to ek...

I don't know either way... I just thought that they were different.

suspension may have been redesigned but the bolts wouldn't/shouldn't have been moved that mount the suspension to the body

Thanx guys I'll give it a try this week, if it doesn't fit then I'll just order a new one.

The whole chassis is redesigned... there's NO logic to saying the suspension mount points "shouldn't" be changed...

A chassis redesign is a chassis redesign... they generally don't hold themselves to previous dimensions...

Again I'm not saying your wrong but if your logic is "they shouldn't have been moved"... then I'm questioning...

Has anyone USED a 92-95 bar on a 98?

Are any companies selling the same part number for both generations?

That would be a better way of telling...

Matter of fact I'll check.

93 CIVIC 472+0376 NEUSPEED Rear Upper Strut Bar - POLISHED STEEL $206.05

They're the same.

Thanx buddy, saves me from having to bye one now. I had a '93 hatch that was totaled in an accident and I'm trying to use as many parts as I can that were salvaged.

Ive owned both 5th gen and a 6th gen hatchbach. They definately look the same to me. Your data obviously supports that. BTW suspension redesigned? How so? My suspension looks the same as the 5th gens.

There were minor changes, if anything.
Im sporting an eg front upper bar (integra actually...but still eg style)

I thought they went to the rear LCA's similar to type R one's...

They have a different LCA which allows different struts/shocks to mount to...

It's definately a chassis shift though... eg and ek are two different chassis... you can swap stuff around but not as readily as you can with 94-00 teg to eg.

very true
But even a lower tie bar will work on all 3 chassis

ok...Ive had it w/ speculation.........Item # confirmation time for undeniable proof:

Rear Tower Bar Civic 1992-2000
74380-XGER-K1S0

Rear Tower Bar Integra 1994-2001
74380-XGER-K1S0

these are mugen pieces...so you know its right

Go ahead....they're the same

That's awesome. Thank you so much for your help.
