IF you are talking about the one that goes behind the Front seats and bolts to both sides of the body yes it does. If you are into Curving, Drifting, I guess auto X then it will kill a lot of the body flex you get when making hard turns. It takes a lot punishiment and will keep the body roll down.

I have two friends running Du-Luck type bars in their Hondas.  One in an Integra Type R and one in a 5th generation Civic HB.

They reported three-wheel motion while entering parking lots due to the stiffening of the bars.

They love them and swear by them.

I called for pricing and installation questions on the bar.  We will loose our power seatbelts if we install the bar.  It runs tight and close to the floor and needs the two bottom seatbelt blocks removed.

I think I am going to go the route of a small roll cage in the rear.  It will have the piping like the du-luck bar and will remove my rollover paranoia.  I have read many discussions warning of roll over problems when using harnesses so I am going the full route when I install mine.
