DC Sports Rear Strut Bar – 1988–2000 Civic, 88–91 CRX, 93–97 Del Sol & 94–01 Integra (SKU: CSB2310)
If you actually push your Honda or Acura, a solid rear upper strut bar isn’t a vanity mod. The DC Sports Rear Strut Bar ties the rear towers together on the 1988–2000 Honda Civic, 1988–1991 CRX, 1993–1997 Del Sol, and 1994–2001 Acura Integra, so that the chassis feels tighter and more consistent. Stiffening the rear with this strut brace helps the car rotate instead of just shoving the nose wide—exactly what you want from a FWD setup on backroads, track days, or autocross.
This isn’t a shiny, multi-joint bar that flexes as soon as you lean on it. The DC Sports strut bar uses a single-piece strut bar layout made from high-strength carbon steel, so when you bolt it in, it actually braces something. That means no random clunks from sloppy joints and no “was that the bar moving?” mid-corner. Just a solid, direct link between the towers. On a 30-year-old chassis, that makes a noticeable difference in how the rear tracks the front—more planted turn-in, more confident rotation, and a Honda or Acura that doesn’t feel like three junkyard cars stitched together. We run this same DC Sports rear brace on our own Civic and Integra test cars.
Install is fully bolt-on—no cutting, no drilling—so you can throw it in on a Saturday and feel the change on your first drive. If you’re building a track beater and want a bolt-on strut bar setup that actually works, or you’re after a no-nonsense handling upgrade with a stout steel rear brace owners trust, this bar does the job without drama. It’s a straightforward rear strut bar that tightens up the rear of the car and makes it more predictable—and more fun—to drive.
