Are you lowered? Seems like people who are lowered had some problems with fitting and they just jacked the car up for an easier install.

Assuming you bent/removed the little metal tab on the cruise control unit, the bar should fit like a shoe. If not, then perhaps you did get the wrong bar

 

yep...dood you got the wrong bar. only the rear bar is interchangeable with the 4th gens. the front bar you have to get bb6/bb8

 

yeah...I'm lowered about 2 inches....

I tried to visualize how jacking up the car could make it fit.... and I dont see how it would work.....

and yeah.... I bent the wiring harness and cruise control harness thing out of the way and tried just about everything. But it just comes so close, its hard to believe that its not the right bar, but then again... maybe that one inch of bar is what seperates the 4th gen from the 5th gen......

 

If it fits the 5th gen rear, I'll take it off ya for a good price

 

hey 01Xlude where did ya get ur spoon bar from ?

 

hey 01Xlude where did ya get ur spoon bar from ?

I ordered one from Modacar.com and they sent me the wrong one. It's not gonna fit dude...trust me I was in the same position as you. Luckily I found someone in my area that was selling a front bar.:bigthumb:

 

you got the wrong bar man. It should fit perfectly if you got the bar for the 5th gen.

 

Thats EXTREMELY irritating..... after waiting 3 months for this bar.... it looks like they sent me the wrong one!!! I got my bar from import-trader and this is their response when I emailed them about it being the wrong one......


"the bar should fit on your 97 as well....on the catalogue we have, the part number is the same....We also fitted one on one our our guys 97 prelude, and it fit...it just requires that you relocate the wiring harness on the passenger side by the strut. Please give us a call if you have any problems with the bar....I will try to get pics of an install sent to you. thanks!"

 

Bullsh*t.....?!?!?! I think so.....

PLEASE...... someone hook me up with a REAL 5th gen Spoon front bar..... I could have boughten a few by now, but never did cause I was waiting for this one.... BASTARDS!!!!

 

you need the bb6 bar as someone mentioned above. if you were able to tie it at the top while the chassis is jacked up, when you lower it, your chassis is going to be bent (seriously). dont do it, towerbars are to drop-in without much force. i use the spoon front/rear tower bar, btw. they drop in.

 

if anyone is looking for a set let me know i got an extra set on hand. well when they get in
