I got a price for this at 110e

very tempting

I want to add something at the rear but I am reluctant as i don't want to spoil the boot space, if only we could make something custom shaped. This is also good

Really interested in a rear brace. Just fitted a front brace from a MB civic, works great but doesnt quite clear shocks so small amount of cutting is required.

Do any civics come with a rear brace standard? Anything that will fit with only minor mods (drilling, small amount of cutting, etc).

Not sure if it's already been covered but I want to fit a 18mm rear ARB to my civic and I can make it fit but need to think about reinforcement due to tear-out, any suggestions? Is 18 to much?

they must have a good effect, especially the rear

This is what I had in mind

I wish not to affect the boot space, or to do it as little as possible. I have some talks with a friend of mine in order to convince him to customize a rear bar in Π shaped so as to move towards the back of the seats. He has made some customs bars for himself so I hope he can do it for the civic.

Here is a last find

it may be easier than i thought after all 8-)
