Cheap fix for Civic body roll

As I'm sure some of you 99 civic owners know, on sharp turns the car has really bad body roll. Luckily I had a spare trampoline around and made a cross brace out of it. Now my car feels like a bmw lol. Less vibration and the ability to make sharper turns at speed are the result!

The center was bent with a pipe bender to increase rigidity even more.



You'll notice from the pics I'm more of a practicality over looks kinda guy with my car lol

That must be the most (effectively) ghetto strut bar I've ever seen, and yet its still not ricey. Spray paint it a bright color and that opinion may change.

Whatever works haha. I appreciate custom work that doesn't suck, even if a brand new strut bar is only $20 :lol:

that's true also. if it works, and its still safe, then why not??
Exactly, and tbh, OP's trampoline bar looks good. I can't judge welds though.

Yea but those 20$ ones are ricer aluminum pieces of trash haha My strut will never warp or bend. ;)

The welds are ugly haha Galvanized steel isn't the best candidate.
