ULTRA RACING SIDE BARS (CIVIC 96-00)

If you're serious about your car's handling performance, you will fist be looking at lowering the suspension. In most cases unless you're a complete petrolhead, this will be more than adequate. However, if you are a keen driver, you will be able to get far better handling out of your car by fitting a couple of other accessories to it. The first thing you should look at is a strut bar. When you corner, the whole car's chassis is twisting slightly. In the front (and perhaps at the back, but not so often.) the suspension pillars will be moving relative to each other because there's no direct physical link between them.

A car chassis is carry by 4 wheels and 4 shock absorbers. When driving on bumpy road, the shock of impact will be absorb by shock absorber, however if the chassis is not strong enough to support the shock absorber, the shock of impact will not all absorb by shock absorber but by chassis, causing chassis flex. Same thing happen when make a turn on corner, chassis will be twisted by the force of weight transfer. Therefore, the handling will be rough and hard to predict the movement of car.

Ultra Racing's side lower bar will stabilize the weight transfer between front and rear, it can also minimize the damage from side impact.
