Just won this item on ebay (pic 1) and (pic 2) is a picture taken from honda-tech. Just wondering if that price is somewhat true ($499)? Cant be surely? If it is i won one hell of a bargain!
 
To be honest I have no idea what type of strut this is as it’s not an ek9 one (I mean oem one) but $500 for a two point strut seems pricey to me. Can prob get a spoon one for £150.

Possibly a dc2 strut brace with a civic sticker?

The US market tends to pay loads for Type R parts lol whack a huge price on it, so that's probably some reason. They're worth a lot more over there just being JDM.
I won a Spoon rear strut for like £45 long ago lol
 
Yeah I know the market in the US is really marked up but $500 for what looks like a really standard strut seems crazy.
 
Well i won it for £21 quid so not all bad ill just hsve to drill and bolt the strut to suite
 
Think that’s probably still a bargain to be fair. Was worried you were going to buy it for $500 :nerv:

Got one wheel finished going to start on the rest on sunday will look much cleaner (for now) cleaned up the strut brace and fitted. Now my airbox doesnt fit :wtf: so going to have to remove it and fit a 90 degree elbow. I see there is an air sensor and a small silocone hose going to the box does it matter if they are removed?
 
Yes i know the bay is manky haha its on the list to be cleaned whilst doing a wire tuck
