Speak to this guy he's an authorised dealer. Its where I got mine for the cl1.
Wow, that's half of the price of everywhere else. Did you get charged import tax with it coming from Malaysia?

No bud. Asked for a lower value. There's still shipping to be added but tbh it wasn't that much.

Remember you can fit a 4th gen rear ARB to a 5th gen. It's the fronts that vary. I have a Tanabe on the rear. Transformed the car. The rear lower brace does it's part, but your not exactly going to notice the difference.

Yes it didn't handle better either, felt the same in the corners.. Car is much more stable in the corners on the stock roll bar. So much more comfortable too.

In my van (vw t6) i have h&r front and rear roll bars and that madea huge positive difference.

That's sexy... I read that upping the front anti-roll bar favours understeer??
I get to enjoy the car up tight mountain passes near where I live. That's why I'm so interested in getting it handling on point.

Edit (for some reason I didn't write the rest of it) your prelude looks super planted on track, I hope that I can get mine to handle similar. ;)

I call foul.

Your car is perfectly in focus while all the other cars are blurred.

Ergo... Your car is parked (stationary) while all the others are moving :D

If you only upgraded the front then yes. Stiffening the rear allows the rear end to slide a little more, improving cornering. But upgrading both front and rear you get a balanced overall stiffening. On my 4G race car I have front and rear Whiteline solid ARB's and on track it is fantastic, less nice to drive on the road though as the car skips around on the uneven road surface (but that is a combination of coilovers, ARB's and tyres).
