Yes, I'm pretty sure I've seen some FAQ on how to install one..you're talking about the tower bar right?? Anyways, I think anyone of the Japanese like Spoon or Cusco should have something..maybe Comptech too..I think i remember seeing one on their website..

The rear has pretty good upper and lower support in stock form. Unless you know of a problem I would spend my money elsewhere.

Note: even though the faq says the bars are 155 each, this was when 1RandyC purchased them. I just checked the site, and they are up to 172.50 each.

Regarding cdelena's comments - not sure, Randy? are you out there? What are your feelings on the rear bar?

In the front you are adding support where this is none.. it makes a difference. In the rear you are simply replacing perfectly good Honda parts with overpriced aftermarket parts. I makes as much difference as it does sense.

there is no benefit at all from installing aftermarket rear upper and lower braces? The neuspeed ad text refers to the honda pieces as "thin, channeled aluminum" and the neuspeed pieces as "solid, thicker" (I paraphrase on both descriptions). Most assuredly some ad-hype, but if the aftermarket pieces are structurally more rigid, won't there be some benefit?

Pull the lower off (it only takes a few minutes) and take a look. It is not thin or aluminum and see if you think it is an inadequate brace. I have an aftermarket lower which I bought based on some misguided advice before I looked at the Honda part and I am convinced I wasted my money. There was a post regarding the upper than concluded about the same.
