DC Sports was founded by Darrell and Darrick Contreras as a high-quality designer and manufacturer of performance products to address the developing Sport Compact Market. In 1987, American Honda commissioned DC Sports to develop a header for their SCCA prepped CRX’s and the result cumulated was our first 4 into 1 header design. It was so well received that Honda requested headers for other applications.

With a DC Sports front strut brace, your Civic doesn’t just drive better—it feels like an entirely different machine.
That system is the one that started it all (HHC5002). The Sport Compact Market was primarily based on popular Japanese small cars that were great cars to begin with, but also excellent platforms for various tuning modifications. Throughout the 1990s, DC Sports was synonymous with Honda and Acura performance and in the early 2000’s started expanding into other sport compact platforms.
DC Sports developed unique designs that performed better and therefore became the brand of choice for serious enthusiasts. DC Sports offers products for most popular sport compact vehicles. Our headers and intakes are available as CARB approved-50 states legal or race only- off road use versions.
🧰 Installation Made Simple
Pop the hood, grab your socket set, and in just a few bolts your DC Sports Front Strut Bar is installed. No fancy tools, no headaches—just instant performance you can feel the first time you turn the wheel.
Headers are manufactured with polished T304SS stainless and/or T409SS ceramic coated for protection and finish. Intake kits come with a high flow open element filter complete with all necessary hardware for a hassle-free installation. Braces are manufactured with mild steel for strength and powder-coated for a quality durable finish and solid one-piece designs are used whenever possible to provide the maximum chassis rigidity.
All parts are engineered, dyno tested for performance (where applicable), and come with an industry standard one year warranty. DC Sports has always been first and foremost about performance and value but there is also no other product that has the DC Sports look, feel, and quality. DC Sports has a comprehensive global distribution network and is headquartered in City of Industry, California. The DC Sports brand will always stand for the very best in performance.

Looks great.

Came in with no defects or issues, pretty fast shipping. But to the main point, this strut bar works as intended and is a great product. I felt a difference right away and car took turns a lot better. bumps and what not a little harsher but that’s to be expected when you’re stiffening the chassis.

Warning this will not clear the 88-91 Crx brake booster, its unfortunate because the quality looks spot on the holes line up but it wont clear unless you swap out the brake booster for a shorter one.

I bought the dc sports front strut bar for my del sol. It was delivered exactly one week after ordering. The packaging was pretty solid, and it included some hardware to remount some wires that were in the way. Installation was very easy, literally bolts right on. I immediately noticed a difference as I have the matching strut bar for the rear. Excellent product, well worth the price!
