DC Sports Front Strut Bar For Use With 03-07 Accord LX/04-07 Accord

Let me start of by saying that this definitely improves cornering characteristics and there is a definite and very noticeable improvement in both high and low speed turning as well as reduction of body roll. I have a 2003 V6 Accord Coupe EX-L Auto and it fit perfectly. It actually allows you to keep the existing Strut supports and this bolts right above them onto the 3 bolts on each strut. It took me less time to install than it took to find my socket set. Total installation time was about 5 minutes. There really isn't much to it other than removing the 6 strut bolts, placing the DC Strut support over the bolts and tightening it all back up. I did find that a long socket works best for the two outer nuts on either side and a short socket is required for the bolt underneath the strut bar. I torqued them down as much as I could by hand and should be sufficient. I also found it necessary to remove the fuse box cover in order to tighten the driver-side nut located under the strut bar. I immediately took it out for a spin and noticed stiffer more-connected steering (if that makes any sense.) I took some sharp turns at 25-30mph to test and there was way less body roll and the suspension felt much stiffer. I also noticed less noise coming from my original 2003 struts (pretty worn out and probably needing replacement.) I then took it out on the highway around some ramps with decent turns and noticed much improved steering as well. Overall, it is an excellent purchase which will greatly improve turning and over-all ride quality on the 7th Gen Accords.

I was really close to repackaging for to return the strut bar since it wasn’t lining up correctly. I took the chance and ended up having to use a rubber mallet to get the plate on to the bolts. Once I did that it was snuggly on there thankfully.I’m currently on the Tien SS damper kit and with this bar being installed I definitely feel the front more stable. It feels more planted for sure so it’s definitely a solid piece.

This product was on eBay but never in stock, very happy to find it on here. Arrived wrapped in a thick plastic bag in a box, gun metal gray. I painted mine white and hit it with a few coats of clear gloss to give it that candied look; paint took really well to it and the installation was a breeze after removing the 3 top strut bolts on each side, adds a good aesthetic to the engine bay and really stiffened up the front end on my 7th Gen Accord. This mod will definitely make your car a LOT stiffer in the front. This will make cornering easier but TAKE TIME TO READJUST TO YOUR CAR AFTER INSTALLING. Your car WILL BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY WHEN CORNERING after this mod. For the price, look, the way this thing performs and took paint, SOLID 10/10 purchase.

Love this stabilizing bar! Looks good, looks great, looks tuff, AND it actually does what it claims too.... STABILIZE your car's front end!Total night and day as far as handling! Less wondering and sticks nicely in the curves/corners! Good stuff here folks!

Bought this for my 2006 Honda Accord. Fit perfectly well designed. Car feels great on turns and steering is more responsible! Would highly recommend

Item came bent at one of the mounting bracket, nothing a little straightening and later welding can't fix if need be. Pretty straight forward to install, fits well, looks good and has increased the performance or cornering and handling.

Pretty easy to install with a 14mm socket and a decent ratchet. Fits perfectly on my 03 LX Sedan manual, and only took about 5 minutes to install. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking to improve the handling of their 7th gen sedan.

This Made a Great Improvement in Driving & Cornering Ability, Had I known about it when I Bought my 2006 Honda Accord new in 06 I would have Installed it then. 👍
