You can order direct from Ultra Racing https://ultraracing-usa.com/honda-civic-fk7-hatch-2017-front-strut-2-points/. Code "civicx" used to get you 20% but just checked and it isn't working any longer. There are some sellers on eBay but they are all in China and I didn't feel comfortable ordering from any of them. I ended up getting a Cusco bar from Darkside Motoring that I am very happy with FWIW https://www.darksidemotoring.com/pr...-strut-bar-2016-2017-honda-civic-si-no-type-r

These two will run you more than either the Sirimoto or Tanabe though.
Specific reason you went cusco over ultrA?

Not really. They seemed like the two best options to me and I liked the way the Cusco looked a bit better. Cusco also came out a bit cheaper ... I got it with an eBay code through Darkside. I also heard, probably somewhere on here, though can't confirm, that the Ultra bar pressed slightly on the hood insulation. Could be wrong about that. The Cusco seemed to run a bit lower. I can confirm that it doesn't press against the hood insulation ... and also stays clear of the brake fluid reservoir and negative battery terminal (which was useful when I had to jump my wife's CRV the other week).

If that's the case, then something could be defective (such as the brackets), and we would replace it at no cost. We still just need some quick photos showing the fitment issue. If you can, please just email those to [email protected] with your Order #.

I got an ultra strut and rear sway. Shipping took forever. Also got hit with a 179 buck fee on the back end even though the site says cali.

Just went to the @procivic website to check it out. They are running a summer special. $10 off purchases from $100-$299. That made the SiriMoto strut bar only $99 including shipping. I bought one. Can't pass up that deal. :thumbsup: If you were to combine it with an Injen cold air intake, you could save $20 on the two items. Not a bad deal. I'll do the cold air intake later, though.

Got the strut bar the other day and finally installed it last night. Literally took just a few minutes. Looks good. Looking forward to see how the car feels and performs. No difference really in regular driving. I'll see what I think after some AutoX and track time.

Next up:
Bridgestone RE71 tires on my spare wheels
PRL Cobra CAI
Downpipe and Front Pipe

Taking it to a local tuner at the end of the month for a baseline dyno and then their recommendations for future mods prior to custom tuning .

Looks clean! Seeing how well it clears the fluid res and battery terminal I'm going to pick one up while @procivic is having that sale. :thumbsup:
You mind sharing which tuner you're going to? I've been looking around our area for someone reputable, trying to avoid the e-tune route this 2nd time around.
