Hey
This is just as an fyi. I picked up a generic c pillar 89-93 fastback brace from ebay for like 30 bucks from a guy ezplus2003. He was selling prettymuch what everyone else had. I know the sohc cars have different seatbelt mounts than dohc cars but I figured the threading was long enough. Aparently not...

the bar included was 40" long, what was required was 43.5 according to my measuring tape to really fit nicely on 89-90. I emailed the guy back and forth and he actually worked with me on things. We came to the conclusion that the brace for the rsx is already 43.5 in long! This is something he already knows now (although I dont think hes updated his auctions to make people specify) but I thought I would pass this information on to others who may want to order a part from this guy (recommended) or from any of the other ebayers selling the same thing. I have the rsx C pillar brace installed in my 90 240 as we speak and it looks/ seems like it will function great!

Its easy to make a dohc one out of bar stock since its flat, but sohc ones are either very expensive or not really available. Now we have a cheaper available option here...
