dc sport or tanabe rear lower tie bar?? - Honda Prelude Forum

thepreludedude · 11-11-2004, 10:23 PM

i have the dc sport on the car. looks great. not sure how much it actually does. i recently bought front and rear tanabe lower tie bars. i installed the front. looking on input if i should keep the dc on and sell the tanabe or install the tanabe and sell the dc? will i notice much in performance between the two?
anyhoo, pick one

i just bought the tanabe. IMO those holes in the dc sports bars cant be too helpful

hey...ill buy which ever one you decide to sell

I dont even care which one!

but i would imagine tanabe's is going to be better. however..since you were tight on cash...go for whichever woill sell for more money?

alright who voted, IDB???

john, if i can get the dc off i will probably sell that one, even though it looks so cool under there.

have pics/impressions of both? i'm looking at getting one and i'm not sure which i'll go for yet.

sweet. how much you want for it? pm me a price!

mike: well, i do not know about the tanabe, since i am unable to get the dc off at this time. the tanabe looks to be better though. the dc is more flahy looking. actually i like the looks of the dc.

john, will do.

ill hook up with the tanabie, i allmost baught them when that guy was selling it. i just did not want to send him the money first, i wanted cod and he was not with that. if ur selling the tanabie ill take it. i got that brand exhaust so i would like to keep matching parts under the car

Just so you guy's know.. the rear lower tie bar really does no affect to our cars. If you do a search (which I did a couple months ago). There was at least 1 real thread covering that the rear lower tie bar was just "bling" all show. Which is why I just bought a DC Sports rear lower tie bar. Although I have a front Tanabe lower tie bar, it definately works. As threads in the past said, the front actually helps, but the rear does not, I saw Roger in a few threads, maybe he could chime in on this. Keep the DC Sports, sell the Tanabe

i have the dc rear lower and i thought it help tighten the rear end better than the diff. i felt when i put the nuespeed front on...

i dont know about the tanabe unit, but i am happy with my dc sport...
now the dc upper rear is a piece of junk that you can bend with your hands, but the rear was def. alot sturdier

i love my DC SPORTS. it works wonderfully like it wasnt even there. but it does look good

In a few words-NEITHER. The substructure of a 5th gen is strong enough as is. You will be better served if you can find an upper bar like the Spoon and a stiffer sway bar like the Neuspeed or Progress. We have the Neuspeed 25mm sway bar and the car is much more predictable and corners flatter than stock. Happy Luding-save your money for real mods

^thanks. i already have both. currently i have the tanabe on the front and dc on the rear. i didn't really feel much difference when i installed the dc. i do notice a little difference with the front tanabe. the rear tanabe looks to be better than the dc, but the dc looks better
