Hey mate.
I regretfully deleted my bars a couple of months back. By the looks of it, 20cm struts (closed) will be perfect. The EH9 Civic ones look a good match.
Someone said they would post pics and they never did.

Whats the problem?
If you cant get it back in the ONLY way i managed was to climb into the boot and lie on your side and push it up until you bleed. It should pop in.

I was I the boot up to that point
, cable tied my big screwdriver into place so could get my jack under as the other bar stops the screwdriver moving any more
, pushed it up with the jack above the shock but kept pinging screwdriver out and breaking my cable tires

A nice big bolt close jubilee clip round the rod and what ever you were stringing cableties to and get the torque of a ratchet spanner on it. sorted

We that didn't last long, heard some rattling noise in the boot earlier on inspection the torsion bar had snapped

Boo! Maybe the weld did bad things, is that where it snapped?
